Gluten-Free Recipes for St. Patrick's Day

Colcannon with a twist.

To celebrate the wee bit of Irish in all of us, be it by blood or by spirit, I thought I might gather my gluten-free recipes inspired by Celtic tastes. Sure, Lass, that means potatoes. And cabbage, too. Salmon and cod dishes, eggs, Irish soda breads, cottage pies and spring soups. The Vernal Equinox is just around the corner. Flower beds are sprouting tiny shoots. And here in rural New Mexico, the cranes are following the river north, returning to their summer nesting grounds. The winter of 2009 will soon be a memory.

Put on some Van Morrison. Raise a glass. Sláinte-

Let's eat!
