Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned Beef and Cabbage is a tradition in our family. My grandfather made it when my daddy and his siblings were little and growing up and became adults, and the tradition continued to us grandchildren.

We would always go to my Grandma and Papa’s house for the holidays as they loved their grandchildren so much.

We would all sit at the tables, adults at one and of course the kids always at the kiddie table and after dinner the coffee would be brewing the wives in the kitchen cleaning up the dinner dishes and getting ready for dessert.

St. Patrick’s Day is always fun with family as it was interesting to see what green dishes were brought to dinner. Whether it was side dishes or desserts it was always something fun and green.
