St. Patty's Day is coming up! And last year, my husband and I started a new tradition :o)

While the rest of the world goes out to party, we sit in. HA HA! Okay no but really what we do first is get festively dressed in our green and Irish accented attire. Then we make some obviously homemade Irish potatoes!!! THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!!! Here is the recipe which is not very hard or secret lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 4 cups confectioners' sugar
* 2 1/2 cups flaked coconut
* 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Using your hands if necessary, mix in the coconut. Roll into balls or potato shapes, and roll in the cinnamon. Place onto a cookie sheet and chill to set. If desired, roll potatoes in cinnamon again for darker color.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But we minus the coconut since we are neither fans of it.

This year I'd like to make an Irish dinner, but not ham and cabbage, yuck! If I can't find anything... I may make a recipe from the Lord of the Rings recipe site! YES, I am a geek. Then we sip our alcoholic beverages of choice... Pete typically enjoys a Harp beer as I drink my wine. Or some Bailey's :o) And watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People which is such good fun! A movie I have been watching since I was a little girl :o) loves it!
