For being Irish, St. Patrick's Day has never been a really important holiday to me. As a kid I always wore green, but I was more than too picky to ever try any of the traditional Irish recipes. As an adult, I didn't care much for green beer or Irish car bombs, so I'd visit the bar but stick with my usual drink choices.
A bit of trivia: did you know that corned beef and cabbage is actually an American-Irish tradition for St. Patrick's Day? The Irish rarely ate beef and would typically eat bacon with cabbage and never specifically for March 17th.
Anyway, the great thing about this recipe is you can easily make it in your slow cooker so it will be ready to eat by the time you get home!
