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.

“Ah, Lovely October, as you usher in the season “Ah, Lovely October, as you usher in the season that awakens my soul, your awesome beauty compels my spirit to soar like a leaf caught in an autumn breeze and my heart to sing like a heavenly choir.” Peggy Toney Horton.

Happy October dear friends! 🍂
On Monday my heart just felt so heavy. Yes, the po On Monday my heart just felt so heavy. Yes, the pouring rain outside contributed to my feelings. But the primary cause was this overwhelming flood of thoughts about how much in our world and in our culture is going off the rails. I’d planned to make pumpkin bread that day but I was tempted to just curl up in a ball on my bed, pull the covers over my head and pretend that this would actually solve something. I didn’t give into that temptation though. Instead, I got out my favorite pumpkin bread recipe and found that, as I worked and prayed and hummed worship songs, my spirit began to settle. When the world feels very loud, the demands of family and home can actually help to quiet our souls. As each family member walked through the door later in the day, they commented on how wonderful the house smelled. It’s better than any fall candle in my opinion! And I knew that the extra loaf that I get from the recipe would be a welcome treat for my widower neighbor. So, if your heart is feeling a bit unsettled this week too, maybe this recipe will come in handy!

Pumpkin Bread:

Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7×3 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 🍂
Happy first day of Autumn!! 🍂 Here’s a super Happy first day of Autumn!! 🍂 Here’s a super simple centerpiece that you can make in five minutes (or less) with just a few pumpkins and extra faux greenery. Let’s spend less time decorating and more time enjoying this season. It’s my favorite!! 🧡

"Define your day", she told me as I held my newbor "Define your day", she told me as I held my newborn son. My mom and I were talking about how blurred my days and nights had become and how easy it would be to just stay in my pajamas 24/7. She encouraged me to make an attempt to put on 'real' clothes in the morning even if they were just nice sweatpants (bonus if they were clean!) and to throw a little bit of makeup on. That simple advice helped chart a course for my years of motherhood that continues today. And recently I began thinking about how critical it is that we not only seek wisdom from those ahead of us in our stage of life but that we are willing to apply it as well.

So, I asked this question on my personal Facebook page; "What is something you feel you've done well to create a peaceful/meaningful home for yourself and your family?" The catch was that the question was geared towards women in the 40+ age range. The responses came flooding in and were so wonderful and insightful. So, I'm going to be starting a new series where I share this wisdom with you and will include the first name of the woman who offered it. 

Today we start with Alison who said "I learned to set my alarm early to get up and moving before my kids woke up. I showered, got dressed and did my devotions while the house was quiet. It set my heart and perspective for each day.”

Is this something you do in your life too? What wisdom would you offer to a mom of young children?

I truly think our culture would greatly benefit from more women in different seasons of life being willing to invest in each other. 🍂

If bread pudding is on the dessert menu at a resta If bread pudding is on the dessert menu at a restaurant I’m definitely ordering it! It’s one of my all time favorite treats. So I decided to try my hand at making some here at home with a little fall twist and it was SO delicious!! 🍎

Ingredients:

6 slices of day old bread (french, sourdough or even brioche works great)
2 cups of heavy cream
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
For the apples:
3 peeled and chopped apples of a tart variety
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour (or corn starch)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350
Cut bread into cubes and place in a greased 8 1/2 x 11 baking dish
Whisk together in a bowl the eggs, cream, vanilla, rum, cinnamon and nutmeg and then pour it over the bread cubes. In a separate bowl, mix together the apples, brown sugar and flour/corn starch. Pour the apple mixture on top of the bread mixture making sure to spread the apples evenly across every part of the bread mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes. 
Enjoy!

When one kiddo wakes up not feeling well after onl When one kiddo wakes up not feeling well after only a week of school, you take the opportunity to make Saturday a truly restful day. Pancakes on the griddle, puttering around the yard admiring the way the limelights have begun their autumn journey from white to green to pink. Sprinkling touches of fall around the house a little bit at a time. Savoring the slowness of it all and taking care of my people in this place that provides us all with a respite from the world even if just for a day.

Hope you’re weekend is off to a great start and that you make it a priority to slow down for a bit and soak up the beauty around you. 🍂

As summer slips into fall, I can’t help but thin As summer slips into fall, I can’t help but think about how grateful I am for the reminders all around me of God’s Sovereignty over everything including the seasons. It can be challenging in our world today to trust that there isn’t a single thing happening that surprises Him.

In a way, decorating my home to reflect the changing season serves as a tangible reminder of this trust. Even something as simple as seeing a pumpkin on my mantel or a basket of mums on the coffee table fill me with peace because they represent the things that remain constant and true.

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8

I’m never.going.back to stressful, time-consumin I’m never.going.back to stressful, time-consuming seasonal decorating. When I think back on the years where I would feel all of the pressure to come up with something fresh and creative I’m seriously embarrassed. Truly. Because it was such a waste. A waste of my time, my energy, my resources. Something clicked with me a few years ago. I was just done. I needed to simplify. I needed to not spend an obscene amount of time looking at fireplace mantels on Pinterest and trying to figure out how to make mine look amazing. I needed to put it all in the proper place in my heart and my mind. Which meant, it had to go waaaaayyyy down on the priority list. So far down it almost wasn’t on it. And I needed to confess to the Lord that I had allowed it to become an idol. 

Yes, I want to have a home that I enjoy. Yes, I love pretty things. But something really amazing happened when I finally released it all. When I decided to not give into the pressure and panic I would feel when I would scroll through my Instagram feed. When I just laid it all down and said…enough. There was this incredible irony in it. Because, the less time I took to decorate my home for each season, the more I found myself loving the results. I think that all along I had just been getting in my own way. It’s really taken a lot of time and prayer for me to finally be at a place where even though I still struggle with insecurities and I still have doubts from time to time, I’m becoming increasingly more confident in who God created me to be. And, just like my home, I’m finding that as I relax into myself, letting go of the comparisons and the pressure, the more I can actually lean into the calling He has placed on my life. 🍂

“As the alluring song of September begins to whi “As the alluring song of September begins to whisper in my ear, my passionate spirit yearns for the splendor of its promise.” (Peggy Toney Horton)

Happy September dear friends! While I’m not quite ready to let go of summer and I plan to make the most out of the lingering, warm days, I’ll admit to starting to think about my fall decor this year. And one way to get inspired is to take a look back at previous years. Here’s just a glimpse at some of the ways I’ve welcomed Autumn to my home! 🍂

Labor Day weekend might mean that we’re turning Labor Day weekend might mean that we’re turning the corner and getting closer to fall but I’m not quite ready to let summer go. So I’ll just be over here continuing to whip up some super simple summer meals for my family that frankly can be enjoyed in any season. These shrimp rolls I made the other night were definitely a hit and would be great for any of your upcoming holiday weekend gatherings!

Shrimp Rolls 🍤

1-2 lbs of shrimp that is peeled, deveined and tail off (If using frozen make sure it’s thawed completely)
1/3 cup mayonnaise 
1/2 of a lemon

1 Tbsp chopped dill
1 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
1 Tsp of Old Bay seasoning (more if you like!)
pinch of sea salt and pinch of black pepper
Hoagie Rolls

Add mayonnaise, squeeze half of lemon and stir to combine before adding in the scallions, dill and parsley. Stir to combine and then add the additional seasonings. Spread butter on hoagie rolls and toast in the oven until lightly browned. Pile on the shrimp mixture and enjoy!
