What a wonderful time of year!  Time to explore wonderful foods of St. Patrick’s Day that help us usher out the long winter and celebrate the return of spring!  For the suggested menu this week we hope you find some fun items to share with your family and friends that even complement the leftover corned beef!

Irish Soda Bread and Pumpernickel Bread – Made from scratch favorites fresh out of the ovens at Taste of Scandinavia!  For a limited time we are baking loaves of Irish Soda Bread.  If you have not tried it, it is definitely worth the try!  A heavier bread with currants that can be served at room temperature or toasted with butter.  Just a heavenly bread eating experience  most would not expect. If you are planning a party, you can order a loaf to reserve yours online by clicking here.

Delicious with butter or toasted with butter!

Irish Cheeses are some of the finest and most flavorful cheeses you can buy!  They get a lot of attention around St. Patick’s Day, however most of them are available all year long!  Most of the cheeses available are generous with flavor and characteristics that are wonderful alone or make any meal more enjoyable!  Check out these tasty looking Potato Bites made with Dubliner Cheese, click here for the recipe.

Deli Certified Angus Beef – Corned Beef to make great Reubens.  Not ready to cook a corned beef brisket, make them simply with fresh sliced corned beef from the Deli department.  A high quality beef packed with great flavor!  Here is an easy and delicious recipe for Reuben with Russian Dressing!

Our Deli Fresh Bake at Home Pizzas are prepared fresh with great ingredients.  Easy to add to the shopping list and have a weeknight meal that is pop in the oven simple and delicious!  This week, we are preparing a Reuben Style Pizza with the traditional Reuben ingredients including the Sauerkraut!  Stop in and bring home some St. Patrick’s Day fun without the bun!

Sauerkraut lovers unite!  We do know that not everyone like Sauerkraut, not sure why but it is true!  Frank’s is now making a singles packet!  Check this out and they are now available in our Meat Departments.  Beyond St. Patrick’s Day these are going to be a hit for brats, dogs and more this summer!  Fun tip, try it on your next burger fresh off the grill! 

Last but not least, what do you serve with all of these great foods!  Coleslaw!  You can add this as a side dish or even topped on a corned beef sandwich to add a crunch and flavor burst like no other!  Haven’t tried it?  Add it to your must try list!  Whether you start with fresh cabbage and shred, buy the shredded coleslaw mix in produce, there is a dressing out there grandma can be proud of!  Wee Willy’s, another Minnesota Company makes a really fine coleslaw dressing!  It is in the grocery aisles and the flavor is a taste of Minnesota!

Enjoy!
