St. Patrick’s Day Birthday & Corned Beef Recipe

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: beef, birthdays, corned beef, easy family meals, family, holidays, milestones 1 Comment

Luke, Ellie, Noah (our friends from Iowa) came last weekend to help Nathan celebrate his birthday early with Miss A, Miss E and Hunter.

There is an Irish blessing in our family on St. Patrick’s Day. We’re not Irish but we celebrate in grand fashion. It’s Nathan’s birthday today. He’s the man of the house. Father, husband, business owner. I am forever thankful for his commitment to our family and to me. I can’t gush too much about him because that counts as “mushy stuff” and his rule I abide by is…”no mushy stuff on the blog”.

If you aren’t celebrating a birthday today but still want an easy slow cooker corned beef recipe for St. Patrick’s Day, I highly recommend this corned beef recipe that I have made. I also have modified several times this year and added a couple cans of diced tomatoes into the Crock-Pot with the corned beef. It’s guaranteed goodness.

 You can always make some minty green cupcakes too. And you don’t want to forget…

 the cabbage! Water, oil, sugar and salt. Cabbage turns into St. Patrick’s Day magic food.

Last year we had a huge St. Patrick’s Day green food birthday party for Nathan. This weekend we will be sitting in a gym for a few games of Hunter’s first traveling basketball team weekend and spending any and all in between time outside with our kids in our summer temperatures in March!

For a post basketball tournament, birthday meal at home, I have corned beef ready to put in the Crock-Pot though. Any leftovers we have I will make Quick and Easy Rueben Wraps.

Hopefully today we will find some Irish green drinks and goodies to enjoy as a family on our outings together to help our favorite daddy and husband celebrate his special day. 
Happy Birthday to one fabulous, hard working, humble and handsome husband and dad. We love you Nathan. 
No mushy stuff.

    I have never celebrated St Patricks day with food like that I have worn green clothes but corn beef and cabbage is for New Years Day. Learn something every day.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
