Celebrate the luck of the Irish with these low carb recipes, delicious low carb spins on traditional Irish recipes.
There’s a hint of spring in the air (hopefully), and St. Patrick’s Day, the holiday everyone loves to celebrate even if you aren’t Irish, is here. Here are some interesting St. Patrick’s Day facts:
- St. Patrick’s Day always falls on March 17, the anniversary of St. Patrick’s death.
- The first St. Patrick’s Day parade was in America, not Ireland.
- St. Patrick’s Day traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage was an invention by Irish immigrants who immigrated to America, because corned beef was a cheaper substitute for ham or bacon.
- St. Patrick’s Day usually falls in the middle of Lent, when fasting is encouraged for Catholics who observe Lent, but Irish-Catholics were given a one day “break” on this day to enjoy meat, eggs and alcohol.

Fresh Twists on Low Carb and Keto St. Patrick’s Day Recipes
Mix it up this year with either a tender lamb and vegetable stew (also a staple of Ireland) or mouth-watering brisket. You can start simmering either recipe in your slow cooker earlier in the day or even the day before. Pair it with a fresh take on St. Patty’s Day cabbage with a creamy cabbage, carrot and cauliflower concoction. A fresh, spring-y asparagus and leek soup is also a tasty and light option, and a low carb version of traditional Irish leek and potato soup.
Mix up your festive drinks with a boozy Irish coffee or low carb root beer float that the whole family can enjoy. The grand finale? Blueberry scones with lemon glaze.
