Get out your green clothes, and your green vegetables, because it’s St. Patrick’s Day! Even if you don’t subscribe to “wear green or get pinched” law, you can still get down with some comforting, home-cooked, hearty and traditional Irish meals. While these meals aren’t specifically reserved for St. Patrick’s Day, we’re happy to give you an excuse to make them.

A Little History Of Old St. Patrick

You may need to brace yourself for this one: St. Patrick was not actually Irish. Pause for shock. Patrick was born into a religious family around 400 A.D. in Britain. When he was 16 years old, Irish pirates kidnapped him and enslaved him in Ireland for 17 years. It was during this time that he rediscovered his faith. He eventually escaped, but found his way back to Ireland as a missionary, ready to die to make his mission successful.

St Patrick’s Day Fact: According to historians, St. Patrick’s color was in fact blue, not green. The use of the color green rose to popularity in the 1600s and 1700s, when the clover became the international symbol of St. Patrick’s Day.

What’s The Deal With Shamrocks?

The word “shamrock” comes from the Gaelic word seamrog, which translates to “little clover.” Botanists believe that the “true” species of shamrock is the White Clover, even though a clover is the common name for any plant belonging to the genus Trifolium, meaning “having three leaves.” Historically, St. Patrick used shamrocks to explain the Holy Trinity, but later interpretations have also used the three leaves to symbolize hope, faith, and love. If, by chance, there is a fourth leaf on a clover, it symbolizes luck.

There are many traditions and historical facts about St. Patrick’s Day, but we like to focus on how you can celebrate in the present. We love making food, so we are providing you with some tasty and traditional Irish recipes, vegan style. If you make the following recipes, let us know how you like them.

Your mother was right when she told you to eat your veggies because green vegetables are loaded with nutrients that can lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, and obesity. They are great for weight loss assistance because of the vitamins, minerals, and low calorie content. But how do you get them in your diet if you don’t want to eat salads all the time?

Sometimes you have to trick yourself into eating more greens. By “trick yourself,” we mean that you have to sneak them into dishes and mask their flavor. Blending them into your smoothies is one of the easiest ways to do that. You can use lettuce, cabbage, or collard leaves as taco shells, sauté some spinach and mix it in with mashed potatoes, or even make some stir-fry with green beans, broccoli, zucchini, leeks, cabbage, and more!

If you are trying to be a healthier person and incorporate vegan or vegetarian recipes into your life, it is very easy to do so on St. Patrick’s Day. The Irish have been celebrating the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, since the fifth century. There’s no reason we should put an end to tradition, which that is why we are giving you some of our favorite green recipes to make a feast. Try them out and let us know how you like them!
