Recipe News: Cook's Corner: St. Pat's tastiest recipes

St. Patrick's Day is quickly approaching and I plan on celebrating. I think I may have a touch of Irish in me. It could have something to do with the fact that my real given name is O'Lisa. I'm not sure if I was named that because there is Irish in my background or if my parents had been kissing the blarney stone.
Because of the approaching holiday, I decided to fill this week's column with recipes that might make for some good eating to honor old St. Pat.

Apparently, potatoes, cabbage and corned beef are staples for Irish folks whether it's a holiday or not. I'm not exactly sure what corned beef is except that it is used in making hash. I have also had corned beef cooked with cabbage before, even though it's not one of my favorite dishes.

Potatoes apparently are plentiful in Ireland as is cabbage. I suppose that accounts for the many dishes you'll find with either or both of those vegetables include in the ingredients list.

At any rate, I've chosen a few Irish-style recipes you may want to prepare for your March 17 holiday celebration. These recipes don't make green dishes, but you could always add food coloring if you want green on your table.

Includes recipes for:

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Reuben Casserole

Irish Bananas
