A celebration of St. Patrick's Day recipes I am one of those rare people in the U.S. who is not one iota Irish but I still know an opportunity to glom on to a holiday and find a way to bring vegan cheer to it. I’ve collected some recipes for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration, or simply some Irish-inspired recipes that help you to enjoy your green spirit. Some recipes are St. Patrick’s Day influenced, others are vegan versions of traditional Irish dishes, others are simply green (hello, grasshopper pie!) and one is a vegan version of a breakfast cereal with an orange-haired leprechaun mascot. (Which reminds me this Onion headline from way back!) In any case, have a great St. Patrick’s Day. Éirinn go Broccoli!
