Parties, get-togethers, and family dinners wouldn’t be complete without corned beef and cabbage with traditional Irish and Irish-American dishes. Or, build a meal with a “green” theme. Spinach, asparagus, any leafy greens, potatoes or rice with parsley, and a minty green dessert. Create your own St. Patrick’s day dinner or party with Wynn’s Market.
