I have to say, St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. To me, it symbolizes the start of Spring and I get super excited because of my Irish heritage. I love to learn about what my Irish ancestors went through in Ireland and in America. It gives me great appreciation for them as my family and the sacrifices they made as well as the hardships they endured and continue to endure. St. Patrick’s day is more to me than just a day to wear green to avoid being pinched or the ever famous Green Beer. It is a day to reflect.

I love the traditional corned beef and cabbage, although the cabbage part took me until I was an adult to fully enjoy. My mother used to make us kids coleslaw to get us to eat the cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day and to this day, I still make both cooked cabbage and coleslaw for the holiday.

I remember my Grandma making pasties in the kitchen around this time of year as well. Although pasties are traditionally not an Irish food, (they are actually Cornish), when you grow up with Butte, Montana Grand-folks, they become a huge tradition.

I hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day. Here are some wonderful recipes to get your day off with a wee bit O’ Irish.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
