Here, in the Irish American Mom Community we believe Irish food is simple, tasty and nutritious and usually isn't "green," except on St. Patrick's Day when a few green beers or slices of emerald cake will do us no harm. Here's a sampling of my most recently published recipes and ramblings about all things Irish and Irish American.
