Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Have some colcannon!
Whether you’re Irish like us or not, you gotta love St. Paddy’s Day! So, get your green on and have a great vegan Irish meal for supper. We’ll be having vegan colcannon, Irish soda bread and boiled cabbage. Will the kids eat this? The 7 yr old will eat the colcannon and bread. The 4 yr old? He’ll eat the bread and complain about the rest. :roll eyes:
We’re homeschoolers, so we’re learning all about St. Patrick’s traditions, history and a bit of Irish heritage today. Good times!
An old Irish blessing for you:
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
The colcannon recipe I use is adapted from VeganYumYum:
Colcannon
(my version)
4 cups yukon gold potatoes, chopped
4 cups kale, chopped (you can use cabbage)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbs margarine (I use Smart Balance because I can’t get Earth Balance locally)
1 cup seitan, chopped
1 tsp Bragg’s liquid aminos
1 tbs nutritional yeast
2-4 tbs soy milk
salt and pepper as you need it
For the cooking directions, please go visit VeganYumYum. I don’t want people to get the idea that this is my recipe, when I’ve just adjusted the recipe to my likings. 
Irish Soda Bread
The Irish soda bread I make from Vegan Dad. The man is a genius with breads and seitan!
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp margarine
1 1/2 cups soy milk
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Again, snag the directions from Vegan Dad. This is not my recipe.
