    Whether you're craving colcannon or cabbage, these vegan St Patrick's Day recipes will help you celebrate the holiday in delicious style. This menu includes appetizers and snacks, soups and stews, dinner dishes, and even dessert recipes!

    Vegan Whole Wheat Soda Bread

    St Patrick's Day

    St. Patrick's Day is just a few days away. While it may seem like most Americans celebrate the holiday with green beer and drunken parades, there are some of us who prefer to cook up vegan versions of classic Irish dishes and commemorate the holiday with food. I like to make cabbage and colcannon and watch St. Patrick's Day episodes of The Office and 30 Rock on Netflix. To quote Michael Scott, "It's the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas."

    This year, I asked some of my vegan blogger friends what dishes they like to cook on St. Patrick's Day. I love the variety of veganized classics they shared with me. Some of them are sure to show up on my menu this year. Enjoy these vegan St Patrick's Day recipes!
