Au Gratin Potato Casserole

No wonder potatoes au gratin are a French classic. They make a perfect side for almost any main dish—pork, chicken, beef, and of course, the Easter ham. And my Au Gratin Potato Casserole is the absolute creme de la creme of potatoes.

ricotta pie

Sweet Ricotta Anise Easter Pie

You might have an eyebrow raised: Pie? For Easter? Really, Mary? Well, yes! Thanksgiving isn’t the only time for pie (just like Christmas isn’t the only time for cookies). Pies are a huge part of our Easter tradition—we open and close the day with pie…

Chocolate Espresso Hazelnut Biscotti

Chocolate, coffee, and cinnamon in one cookie? Get outta here! On my Christmas platter, this is the one everyone goes for. Don't tell anybody, but these are my favorite biscotti, too. Delightful.

colcannon potatoes

Colcannon Potatoes

This earthy, savory colcannon recipe takes plain old mashed potatoes up a notch. It’s so fresh and flavorful that you might even end up like me—serving it up alongside other carbs. Word to the wise: don’t be afraid to go ham on the bacon.

Terri’s Irish Oysters with Bacon, Cabbage and Guinness Hollandaise

My friend, Terri, uses the Guinness to liven up a traditional hollandaise sauce that tops off these Irish oysters. You won’t believe how easy these are to make at home. And in my experience, anything that Terri touches is gold!

guinness beef stew

Guinness Beef Stew Pot Pie

Guinness Stout gives the whole dish a rich, deep flavor, and the aromas of thyme, rosemary and onion will have you drooling long before it’s ready to eat. I can’t believe I haven’t been making this dish my entire life. That’s how good it is.

ice cream coffee

Bailey’s Irish Cream Coffee Milkshake

This recipe combines two of my favorite treats: Irish coffee and milkshakes. Yep, it’s time for my Bailey’s Irish Cream Coffee Milkshake! This recipe is terrific on its own, but you know me—I like to add a few embellishments.

Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Martini

Chocolate is a must on Valentine’s Day. If you would rather drink your chocolate, you’ve got to try my chocolate martini. On the other hand, it’s almost too pretty to drink… You can impress your sweetheart, too, with just a swirl of chocolate ganache. I’ll teach you how to make it at home, but you can use store-bought chocolate sauce in a pinch, too.

Super Bowl Punch with Beer and Vodka

Super Bowl Punch with Beer and Vodka

Super fun: making a special cocktail for Super Bowl Sunday. Not so much fun: sitting around all day and serving it up for your guests! I don’t know about you, but I’d rather watch the game (go Bears)! This Super Bowl Beer Punch is the perfect compromise: serve it up just before game time and let your guests help themselves!
