Happy St. Patty's


Hi all,
A good ole' Happy St. Patty's Day to you all. I hope you enjoy a day of GREEN. I promise to not get pinched today as I'm sporting a green top accompanied with my green eyes. I also have my good luck charm on -- a silver three-leaf clover that my daughter brought me from Ireland in December!

Enjoy this recipe for Corned Beef and Cabbage:

INGREDIENTS
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 pound baby carrots
3 cups water
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet, cut in half
1 small head cabbage, cut into wedges

DIRECTIONS
Place the onion, potatoes and carrots in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine water, garlic, bay leaf, sugar, vinegar, pepper and contents of spice packet; pour over vegetables. Top with brisket and cabbage. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.
