St Patty's Day Celebrations

Happy St. Patty's Day!  We celebrated this weekend with an Irish themed breakfast and libations at some of our favorite watering holes across the city.  Breakfast included the Mister's amazing-from-scratch pancakes with a little food coloring, topped with whipped cream and marshmallows.  Yes, I sifted through an entire box of Lucky Charms and picked out all the marshmallows, they truly are magically delicious!  And the potatoes were my own creation of 3 tablespoons of butter, a clove of garlic (grated), salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.  Toss together and bake at 375 for 25 minutes till golden brown and crispy.  Our green themed soiree included cupcakes with Bailey's Irish Cream frosting, you can find the recipe here, and lime jello shots.  I added rum and lychee flavored liqueur in the following ratio: 3 oz rum, 3 oz lychee liqueur, 2 oz cold water.  Hope you lovelies celebrated your Irish heritage (or lack thereof) in style.

St. Patty's Day Wedding Inspiration: Luck of the Irish

A St. Patty's Day inspired wedding board.  Imagine a backdrop of lush green countryside, subdued hues of green, romantic florals, soft candle light, and bouquets of wild flowers wrapped in lace.  And no St. Patty's Day inspired wedding would be complete without four leaf clover accents, a palette of soft white and green, hints of moss, and rustic elements.  Inspiration for your St. Patty's Day inspired soiree, enjoy!
