A fine stew seems appropriate for this time of year! Even more so a Beef Stew with Beer and Paprika, a recipe from The Pioneer Woman. Made even better by our lean stew meat, well-trimmed by our expert butchers.   Source: thepioneerwoman.com via Festival on Pinterest   Irish Soda Bread  – Handmade from scratch and fresh out of the ovens at Taste of Scandinavia. A heavier bread with currants that can be served at room temperature or toasted with butter,  a heavenly bread eating experience! Some lovely Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar, one of our favorites,  comes only from the finest milk of Ireland’s grass-fed cows. If you’re not a fan for Corned Beef and Cabbage, perhaps a Rueben Sandwich is what this celebration calls for! Try this crockpot Corned Beef and Awesome Rueben Sandwich recipe. Corned Beef not a favorite? Try this fine Irish Beef Stew (don’t forget the Guiness)!
