17 St. Patrick’s Day Recipes That are Worth a Pot of Gold.

Get out your bagpipes and four-leaf clovers, because it’s time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This holiday began to honor St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who dedicated his life to missionary work and spreading Christianity. Today, St. Patrick’s Day also celebrates the history and heritage of Ireland. People wear green, attend parades, and enjoy Irish food and drink.

You can eat green and still indulge in delicious, decadent dishes. Take a look at these 12 Vegan Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day and Vegan St. Patrick’s Day Recipes That Will Make Your Guests Green With Envy. We’re talking indulgent goodies like this Perfect St. Patrick’s Day Irish Cakeand this dairy-free St. Patty’s Day Shake.
