 | When I first moved to the U.S., I had no idea what a big deal St. Patrick's Day was. My experience was somewhat magnified by the fact that I lived in New York. Obviously in cities like New York, such as Boston and Chicago, St. Patrick's Day is huge, thanks to a large Irish-American presence. Resistance is futile, so unleash your inner Irish and enjoy the food and festivities of this "green" day. |

Irish Soda Bread
With only a handful of ingredients and no yeast, Irish soda bread is a snap to make. Enjoy this traditional St. Patrick's Day bread with some low-fat spread or enjoy it dunked in the juices of a lean stew or soup.
| Watercress Soup
Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, and as a great source of potassium, iron, and calcium, watercress packs a lot of punch in its peppery-tasting leaves. Great in salads or in soups, watercress, like arugula and spinach, is a versatile green-leaf vegetable. In this low fat soup, I add the watercress toward the end of cooking to preserve as many nutrients as possible.
| Lean Beef Stew
Perfect for St. Patrick's Day, this lean beef stew is packed with chunks of colorful, nutritious vegetables, as well as cubes of lean, mineral-rich, high-protein beef.
| Colcannon
Colcannon is a classic Irish dish made from cabbage and, of course, potatoes. Now, you could switch out cabbage in favor of kale, which would add a nice splash of darker green and a few more nutrients. Either way, it's a delicious side dish to serve with your lean beef stew.
