St Patricks Day

It always seems to creep up on us every year, but we have just about got ahead of the game this time and have put together a few ideas for anyone celebrating out there. It always seems the perfect excuse for a get together and a few drinks with friends (and maybe even a few more drinks) 
Check out below some simple ideas to get you involved in the occasion.
We plan to eat our body weight in soda bread (below) and raise a small Irish toast to Paddy himself.
What are your plans?

Start you day off the Irish way, with this easy soda bread recipe from Rosie at The Londoner.

If you are having a little party, or just fancy getting all creative, now is the time to make some fancy straw stoppers to honour the occasion. For full instructions head on over to Martha Stewart

Okay, so this one may take a little work, but doesn't it look awesome? You could potentially just go for 1 or 2 layers instead though. Find the recipe over at I am Baker

We all need a drink to toast St Paddy, don't we? Why not try this Homemade Irish Creme Liqueur. Recipe from How sweet is it

When you sit back with your homemade liqueur (or just totally cheated with a store bought Baileys) you HAVE to have something to dunk into it. Please welcome the Double Fudge Irish cream cookies. Need I say more. Full recipe also over at How sweet is it.
