I think it is fun to cook Corned Beef and Cabbage on St Patrick’s Day, my family did this when I was a child and I did it for my children, and my daughter is doing it for her family now. 
Even if you aren’t Irish it is fun to join in the fun and celebrate different cultures and what is easier to do that then cooking a few traditional dishes from different culture?!
I love to make this dish on St Patrick’s Day to have some fun – but also because the corn beef brisket used in this dish is so cheap around St Patrick’s Day how can you miss! I like to take the work out of it this dish by dumping it all in a slow cooker, flipping the switch and coming back when it is done! How simple! Plus, the longer you can cook the meat the more tender it becomes – so I think a slow cooker is just perfect for this and makes celebrating St Patrick’s Day a snap!
Here is my recipe:
St Patrick’s Day Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup pre-peeled baby carrots
- 10 baby red potatoes (depending on size might need to be cut in half)
- 1-2 cup water
- 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 1 head cabbage, chopped into quarters
Directions:
The other day someone called me asking for this recipe they thought that they would start this tradition in their own family. This got me thinking that I will scrap it up and email the recipe to her, instead of just typing it up in a boring email! What a nice gift and way to remember the recipe!
I was in a hurry so I just used a Quick Page from the Go Irish Green Quick Page Kit (a Quick Page is pre-designed scrapbooking page that someone else has done all the work!) So I just added a photo, my recipe, and to personalize it a bit this a brush from the St. Patrick’s Day Brush Set (see the red arrows in the image above? Those are all the places I added the brushes!)
After I was done scrapping it I turned this Recipe into a PDF page using Photoshop Elements and emailed it to her!
Because I had used a Quick Page that was US paper size – after she got this in her email she could print it out and add it to an ordinary binder! (If you would like to know how – get this training!)
She was delighted! And I was so happy to share this recipe with her and also with you too!
Hope you have a very Happy St Patrick’s Day! And, even if you aren’t Irish I hope that you try out a few things from this culture this month!
Enjoy!
