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!



So do you have a favorite annual St. Patrick’s Day meal or recipe?  Comment and share it with us! We love to hear about our friend’s traditions here at the fence!

    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 son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap m Our son just turned TWENTY and I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that we’ve completed two decades of parenting! I’ve had time to reflect on this season of life and shared some of my thoughts over at @club31women.

“Someday, years from now, we will watch home movies of the year 2023. And it will seem like I am peeking into the life of another family. I will have vague memories of those moments but my life will be so consumed with what is currently happening that it will seem like another lifetime. So, I embrace this season…this day…this moment. And I choose to declare that the emotional war in my heart between ‘what could have been’ and ‘what might be yet to come’ is over. I’m waving the white flag. I want my children to know that it is good and proper that they grow up and leave the nest. I want them to know that I can celebrate the passing of time rather than resist it even if there may be a few bittersweet tears that spill over from time to time.”

Head over to their devotional page to read the rest and I hope my words bring you encouragement for wherever you are on your parenting journey. 🤍
There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards of your labor! The whole family pitched in to get our bark spread around the yard (I’m the master at raking it until it’s nice and even) and by the end of the day we were all done. Now we can head into summer with our big yard projects completed! 🙌🏻 Do you put in fresh bark every year?
Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’ Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’s your favorite thing about this month? Mind can be summed up in this quote…

“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom “No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”

Grateful today and every day for those who were vigilant to the point of death in the preservation of our freedom and the principles upon which our country was founded. May we honor their sacrifice by being vigilant too. #memorialday
I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables t I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables to pit next to our outdoor couch and when I spotted these plant stands at @walmart from their @betterhomesandgardens line I knew they would be perfect…and they are!! 👏🏻 This is not a sponsored post. I’m just happily sharing this great find and why we should always be open to thinking outside of the box when it comes finding solutions for our decorating dilemmas.

Now we’re ready to head into this beautiful weekend! ☀️
What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book?

Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!
I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispenser I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispensers! They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
