While some people equate St. Patrick's Day with consuming an inordinate amount of alcohol, we think it's a holiday that's all about food! What's better than tons of family and friends all gathered together in one place? Why, all those great people chowing down on great food, of course.

St. Patrick's Day dishes are all about big, bold flavors. From savory recipes like corned beef and cabbage to herbed lamb, and Guinness beef stew to sweet treats like grasshopper brownies, mint chocolate fudge, and layered cake, all featuring green, of course, these recipes pack a big punch of savory or sweet flavor in every bite. That's important because if any holiday goes big, it's St. Patrick's Day!
Why These Recipes Work
Each and every one of these recipes is made with St. Patrick's Day in mind. Many of them revolve around corned beef, with variations like corned beef and cabbage, corned beef casserole, corned beef sliders, and even corned beef stew.

Of course, the desserts on this list are all about sweet flavor and classic color. Treats like mint chocolate fudge, green cookies, and pistachio fluff all explode with sweet flavors and a blast of green color.
