I went old school this month guys. I hauled out the cookbooks from the cabinet above the stove, blew off the dust and flipped through the pages. I know, our children probably won't even know what they are when they inherit them. They'll be like, "Why did mom have so many different cupcake-decorating books? And did they really need to make cupcakes look like TV dinners? What's a TV dinner anyway?" Anyway, I wrote down a few recipes to try and then came back home to the internet to look them up. Not surprisingly, they're all here. So when you realize you've been to the Good Housekeeping website three times today, that's why. And although we're bad Catholics in our house and don't pay attention to the no-meat rule, I tried to drum up some meatless options for you devouts.
While I'm not a devout Catholic, I am a devout celebrator of St. Patrick's Day. When I saw the 17th's recipe, I thanked God for making me Irish. I can't wait to dig into that. And three pounds of Irish potatoes. And a 6 pack. But that's just me. Hope you find this month's menu to your liking my friends!

Howdy Shannon! Thanks for your sweet comments on my post last week. I agree--you would get a long with both me and Vin. Let's make it happen one day...
Also, I'm terrible with menu planning. Do you actually stick to this? How many trips to the grocery store does it take to pull this off? I'm impressed, yet full of questions.
I'm not sure what happened in my brain when I wrote "along" as two separate words. Forgive.
This all sound delish thank you for all the wonderful recipes! have a great tuesday shannon!! =)
mmmmmm everything looks great but WOW horseradish cheddar potatoes (a huge Joey Lawrence WHOA)
The other day my husband was looking through our cookbooks and happened to pull out 500 appetizers and 500 cupcake recipes. He said, "apparently I only cook things that have 500 in the title"
You are cooking EVERY SINGLE DAY? Get this woman a crown because she's a queen!
Can you just send the leftovers my way? Because cooking just sounds difficult.
Do you seriously make all of these? If so, I'm not sure if I should hate you or make you my hero. Impressive! And I'll head to Kim's for the leftovers...save you a trip. I always think of others...
I just want to say to all of your lovely people who follow my daughter's blog on a daily basis. You do make the world a lot nicer and definately more kind. Just reading your thoughts cheers me up. Thank you to all.
Um YUM. I really need to get on it with the whole "being a wife" and "cooking" thing. So I think I'll be snaggin' a few of your recipes this month!
Because you complained on Facebook that I sent you links for chicken and squash but held out on the dessert recipes, here are a few that might add to your St. Paddy's celebrating:
Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes with Whiskey-Spiked Ganache and Baileys Buttercream Icing (eh, not Gabe safe but DELISH!)
