Easy Danish Christmas Eve Rice Porridge (Risengrød) Recipe

For Christmas Eve dinner, families in Denmark start the meal by giving everyone at the table a small bowl of warm porridge topped with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and a pat of butter on top called Risengrød (pronounced risen-groo with a hint of a d sound at the end.)  One lucky person at the table will find a whole almond in the bottom of their empty bowl and will win the almond gift – usually candy, marzipan, or other small treat.   Save this recipe to your Pinterest Boards for later!

15 Saint Patrick’s Day Recipes (for Grownups)

Saint Patrick’s Day is on its way!

Our plans are fairly low key. We want to take Lacey to the big Saint Patrick’s Day parade the city holds the weekend before the holiday so everyone can attend. Lacey won’t freak out at the sound of bagpipes and we won’t have to leave early. (Place your bets now.)


15 Saint Patrick's Day Recipes

Since the holiday falls on a Monday, our plans are pretty basic. Wear green to avoid being pinched, work, come home, and eat dinner. Trying to get a table at Irish or British pub for a traditional Saint Patrick’s Day meal will be impossible with Columbus' large Irish population. That’s OK. I have 15 recipes for Saint Patrick’s Day dinner, dessert, and drinks to choose from for dinner at home.


Since life is short, let’s start with Saint Patrick's Day dessert recipes first!

One of my favorite local restaurants uses Guinness in its beer battered fish and chips. The alcohol cooks out of the batter and leaves a choco-coffee-nutty flavor behind. It is life. changing!
