St. Patrick’s Day Recipes…Corned Beef Three Ways!

It’s a Post From The Past…
(The original posts can be found at Gourmet Meals for Less)


I love St. Patrick’s Day!  It’s one of my favorite holidays when it comes to the food department.  My family waits all year just to get a taste of my Slow Cooker Glazed Corned Beef.  I find people are often intimidated by corned beef.  But, it really doesn’t have to be difficult to make.  I have found the following recipe to be tried and true for me year after year.  I hope you’ll consider giving it a try this year for St. Patty’s Day!



(Print Recipe}
Glazed Corned Beef
Serves 8
Ingredients:
Corned Beef:
1 bay leaf
1 medium onion, sliced
2-3 strips of fresh orange peel
3 whole cloves
1 ½ cups water
3-4 pounds corned beef
glaze
Glaze:
2 Tbs. frozen orange juice concentrate (I used orange juice from the carton)
3 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. Dijon-style mustard mix
Mix all glaze ingredients together until smoothed and blended.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except corned beef and glaze in crock pot.
Add corned beef with fat side up.
Cook on high setting for 5 to 6 hours (I find that if your slow cooker doesn’t cook high enough it can make your corned beef tough to cook on low for too long)
Remove meat from broth.
Score top of corned beef in diamond shapes.
Insert additional cloves to decorate.
About 30 minutes before serving, place corned beef on heatproof platter.
Prepare Glaze and spoon over corned beef.
Bake in 375° oven for 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally with glaze.

Cabbage

Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
1 large green cabbage
butter
salt
pepper
Directions:
Quarter, core and coarsely chop green cabbage.  Heat skillet to medium high and add butter.  When butter has melted, add in cabbage, 1/4 cup of water, salt and pepper.  Reduce heat to a simmer and cover.  Stir occasionally until cabbage is wilted and starting to slightly caramelize.  Add more salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.

Wondering what to do with the leftovers?  Here’s two great recipes that make great use of your left over corned beef…if you have any! If not buy another one and use it to make these two wonderful meals.  You won’t be disappointed!

I want to close with one of my favorite Irish Blessings!  I pray this for each and everyone of you!  
  
 May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!

    I have to say that the breakfast dish sounds wonderful. We don’t eat corn beef here in our house but I would sure try the breakfast!

    We are all about the slow cooker each Sunday. With the crazy schedules my kids have it’s perfect. I think we will try this recipe this weekend. Then I can get a few more dishes out of it for the week. Can’t wait to try it.

    Well, I grew up in an Irish household and I never liked corned beef…nor does anyone in my family…probably because I never made it when they were growing up?!? I’ll just stick with dying the mashed potatoes green for the day! lol

    Thank you again for the nice gesture of featuring me yesterday. I figured out how to grab the button and link it back to you- not bad for an old broad!

    Hugs and have a wonderful day-I am off to work until 9:30 pm. Ugh-xxoo Diana

    OH HOW YUMMY!, I honestly have been putting off getting my crockpot but it’s like everywhere I’eve looked this past week, I see great resipes where I would totally make a fabulous meal with it!!

    I am drooling at the sight of the corned beef meal ^ little sandwich!

    Question: Do you buy corned beef at the deli or do they have it at the meat department?….I usually only buy corned beef slices for reuben’s…

    Thanks! & Happy St. Patty’s! ^_^

    These sound delicious! I love the rainbow picture at the end. I love rainbows. I’m like a little child when I see one!!!

    By the way, I really like the way you have pictures of recent posts at the top of your blog. Is that something you do manually or do you know a secret magic tip?

    Thanks for these recipes! We love to have a New England boiled dinner with corned beef, potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage, celery and rutabaga. We experiment with how to prepare it — sometimes in the crock pot, sometimes on the stove. Most recently we boiled the meat for a bit, then put it all in the oven, and it was delicious! (Yes, we already ate our corned beef for the week). And bay leaves really add a great flavor.

    The last couple of years, my husband has also made an Irish soda bread. I like it with lots of butter 🙂

    Oh boy! I love the reuben pie recipe you posted. I have to tell my husband about it, he’ll love it! He’s the cook in the family and is planning to go all out on St. Patrick’s with 4 meat pies, Irish soda bread, Brown bread, Colcannon…the works. I don’t think I’ll be able to stand afterwards.

    I made this recipe for our St. Patricks day party this year. I had 2 – 4lb roasts so chose to put them in my turkey recipe. It was so flavorful and so tender. Everyone raved about how wonderful it tasted. The only bad part was that it all got eaten up that night so we didn’t get any leftovers for sandwiches the next day. I just put another one in the crock pot for our dinner tonight and reubens tomorrow night.

Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

For more photos and details head on over to my website using the link in my bio.
“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Psalm 25:1-6
Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great chan Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” I think this is true for everyone worldwide. You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each “Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” (Louisa May Alcott).

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect day to photograph our laundry room which got a bit of a makeover. This space is definitely useful as it bears the brunt of everyone tromping through it all day long but I think I’ve managed to make it pleasant as well. One of my greatest realizations in my homemaking journey was when I recognized that those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s the pleasant that enhances the useful and vice versa.

I’ll have the rest of the makeover reveal on my website soon but I just couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek with you today! 🌿

I’m so thankful for my cozy home and my loves who live here with me and I can’t wait to spoil them a bit tonight. We don’t go crazy on Valentine’s Day but I try to still make it sweet even if it’s simple. 💕
