Small celebrations make the day feel special, don’t they?

Although my family is Irish, St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t a big meal-focused holiday when I was growing up. Once I began developing recipes regularly, I started creating a special dish each March. After the kids arrived, those little traditions turned into full-on festive fun. Celebrating even a minor holiday with kids is such a joy—they look forward to it and love being part of the festivities.

Below are many of my favorite snack, dinner, and dessert ideas perfect for March 17th. I like making a festive main course and an extra-fun treat for dessert. The kids always approve!

This year I’m torn between the Guinness pot pie and the Lucky Charms Rice Krispie treats. Which one would you pick?
