Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

031524 CAW foodWith St. Patrick’s Day on a Sunday, it’s the perfect time to serve up a festive post-Mass brunch to honor this great saint. Some say no Irish breakfast is complete without a side of authentic potato farls. Originally devised to use up leftover mashed potatoes, it is a simple dish, requiring only pantry staples, but it creates delicious breakfast or anytime fare. Try the “Authentic Irish Potato Farls” at www.BiggerBolderBaking.com, where you’ll also find recipes for Irish scones, soda bread and apple cake.
