Growing up on a farm in Ohio, and later in Louisville, my
family never had occasion to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. That all changed years later, after
marrying and moving to “Chicagoland.”

| The Chicago River goes green for St. Patrick's Day |
45 pounds of vegetable dye colors the Chicago River a
brilliant emerald green as it courses through the center of the city, in honor
of St. Patrick’s Day. Chicago is
packed with a plethora of Irish pubs and restaurants and there is no shortage
of fun and plenty of sights to behold…
It was a memorable St. Patrick’s Day for us years ago when we took our then young teenage boys into the city for dinner. Revelers, imbibing plenty of green suds, were plentiful everywhere. It was an “education,” for sure that our sons laugh about now and will never forget. After hurriedly eating, we headed out to a Bulls basketball game ~ ‘twas the “Michael Jordan era!!!”
Potatoes and cabbage, that popular pairing, is always abundant on St. Patrick’s Day and here’s a twist on it to get your Irish on:
This is a simple delicious dish, packed with cabbage, chunks of potatoes, mushrooms, Vidalia onion and green bell pepper; a generous amount of seasonings and Parmesan round it out, while vegetable broth aids in steaming the veggies to tenderness.

To take it up a notch ~ fry several strips of bacon crispy, and
toss on top of the finished dish as garnish.
It’s a delicious nutritious side dish ~ perfect for St. Paddy’s Day!
