I love the early spring in Louisiana. The azaleas are in full bloom, the air is still slightly crisp and everything is so fresh and green. It’s the perfect backdrop for one of my favorite events in Baton Rouge: the Wearin’ of the Green St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
If you live anywhere near the parade route, you know to be prepared to host enthusiastic revelers all adorned in green for some food and libations before, during and well after the floats roll by. Living at the end of the parade route, I make sure to have something hearty to feed family and friends. This year, I’ve prepared an easy, festive and economical Irish-inspired menu to serve for post-parade parties or any green day festivities you’re hosting at home.
