we don’t get too crazy over here for st, patty’s day.

yes, there were some green cookies

but it’s been a few years since we had littles in the house, and teens don’t get that exited about leprechaun traps and green hair dye

for us st. patrick’s day means we eat all the corned beef and cabbage we can handle, have a Guinness or two (NOT the teens)

the  kids are going to have to be happy with the cookies, because this  irish cream panna cotta is adults only
