Irish Stew

My Irish roots & our Irish Stew Recipe!

My grandfather was Irish, his last name is “Connolly” and we called him Grandpa Ed.  I remember him having a Shillelagh, it looked like a shiny black walking stick… it’s a symbol of Irishness in modern times but, it was originally was used as a weapon! 

I remember he had shamrocks, Irish mugs, and he always gave me a dollar to play him a song on the piano! (which was really nice since I’ve only ever known 1 song!) 

Irish Soda Farls is a quick and simple soda bread that cooks in a skillet! www.cookingwithruthie.com

Our Irish Soda Farls Recipe is a soda bread dough that’s flattened into a round circle, and divided into farls, meaning 4 parts. It is also referred to as Irish Griddle Bread because it’s cooked on a dry griddle or pan lightly sprinkled with flour.

Traditionally, this was the quickest way to make soda bread for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of craic (good fun).  It’s best eaten fresh with butter and jam.

Guinness Beef Stew is a winter must-try and highlights from my trip to Guinness Factory in Dublin, Ireland! #cookingwithruthie.com #guinness

All I have to say is Guinness Beef and Potato Stew will hit the spot! Especially in the winter when we all love a bowl of warm and cozy stew. It’s loaded with lots of potatoes, carrots, beef (or veal) all lovely in a beef broth and tomato base!

Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua is a wonderful beverage to accompany brunch or dessert! www.cookingwithruthie.com

Our Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua Recipe is a wonderful beverage to accompany any brunch or dessert! It’s lovely as a serve alone beverage, too. I mean how can you wrong with a Baileys and Kahlua coffee?!

It’s simply a match made in heaven. Unless you like more of the traditional Irish coffee baileys all by itself, then just omit the Kahlua in the recipe. Either way, you can’t help but completely adore it!
