St. Patrick’s Day is my birthday.

Having said that, besides my 21st birthday, I don’t usually get too hyped up about the green beer, Guinness, and corned beef.  The reality is, when it comes to beer and corned beef, we pretty much celebrate my Irish heritage all year ’round.  And I never met a potato I didn’t like.

But this year I’m doing something a little bit different.  I’m celebrating my birthday and all things St. Patrick’s Day with a bunch of fantastic blogger friends.  It’s a virtual St. Patrick’s Day party! Woot!  Do what you like to do to celebrate.  Whether you like beer or pretend to like beer on this particular day (and color it green), whether you are Irish or pretend to be on this day, or if you just like awesome food – check out this amazing collection of recipes that will have you covered from head to leprechaun toe with all things that celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

And my birthday.  Cheers!

Raspberry Chocolate Milk Porter Pudding Shooters

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces chocolate chips, melts, etc., whatever you like
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch
  2. Heat milk, heavy cream, and beer until steamy
  3. Add 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks and whisk until combined
  4. Continue adding milk and whisking 1/2 cup at a time until most all milk is combined in the eggs
  5. Add egg/milk mixture back to the pan and heat to just before a boil, stirring or whisking constantly until thick and coats the back of a spoon
  6. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate until chocolate is melted
  7. Stir in butter until completely melted
  8. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any egg solids
  9. Cover with plastic wrap with the plastic touching the pudding to prevent a skin from forming
  10. Refrigerate about 4 hours or overnight
  11. Pipe into small glasses and top with whipped cream, grated chocolate, and mint leaves

NOTES:

  1. I added the chocolate at the end for color more so than flavor because without it the pudding didn’t have a very chocolate-y appearance
  2. Use whatever serving dishes you want.  I used beer festival tasting glasses because that’s what I have a ton of and it adds to the fun St. Patrick’s Day beer fun.
  3. I used Love Ninja from Asheville Brewing Company, but most any chocolate stout or porter would be fine – a touch of raspberry or cherry flavor would be ideal.

Smoked Gouda, Fontina, American Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Coco Loco Caramelized Onions

Hi friends!  How is your week going so far?  Are you still digging your way out of the snow?  Are you over snow and cold weather and ready for some comfort food?

 

DSC_0111

 

I know I am.  And I’ve got the cure for what ails ya.  I’m not sure that there is a better comfort food than a big, melty, bacon-y, buter-y, grilled cheese. This one is a bit over the top with a combination of smoked gouda, fontina, and american cheeses.  We also felt the need to throw in some bacon.

BTW – I have zero idea why in tarnation I have decided that I am a we.  Just roll with it.  And don’t judge me.

 

DSC_0089

 

Oh.  And remember Crostini?  The Coco Loco Caramelized Onions make the perfect finishing touch to this over the top grilled cheese.

 

DSC_0062

 

I joke you not.  I think we had these grilled cheese sammies at least 3 times in one week.  And now that the Super Bowl is right around the corner, we’re all thinking about some football appetizers and finger food.  #KeepPounding #PanthersNation

You could totally quarter these into triangles or smaller square pieces and your friends can grab one with one hand to keep the other free to Dab with Cam, Luke, Greg, and the boys with all the touchdowns we hope to make!

Until next time friends!

And just because we are super excited here in the Sweet Carolinas
