St. Patrick’s Day Paleo Friendly Irish Stew

St. Patricks Day has it’s own traditional recipes that many people use.  I wanted to come up with a recipe that I could feature using some fresh herbs from a container pot in my small greenhouse.  I found these herbs earlier in the grocery store and I re-potted them so I could use them all summer.  The pot came with a cute tag to make Irish Stew, so I adapted it to use cabbage (totally traditionally Irish), sweet potatoes, jicama, celery and bone broth. Deliciously Paleo.

Sticking with this Irish theme I wanted to pair this main dish with a “rainbow” beauty.  Please see  “Eat the Rainbow“.  This side dish recipe is truly a “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”.   Recipe found Here.

You can top this with a “green” smoothie or even “green” kombucha to add to the wonderful health benefits of this meal.  St. Patrick’s Day is a fun day to “get your green on”, and I challenge you to put it on inside and out!  Have a very Happy and Healthy Day!
