From the March issue: Recipes for a Wearin’ of the Green parade pre-game and after-party

March is always a fun month in Baton Rouge. With the Wearin’ of the Green parade, one of the city’s spring highlights, it’s all about what we do best here: partying.

If you live anywhere near the parade route, friends are going to show up whether you host a party or not. That’s why it’s best to plan ahead and be prepared. We’ve come up with some St. Patrick’s Day-themed recipes for both breakfast and lunch using an all-natural corned beef you can easily brine yourself. Though the process takes a few days to cure in your refrigerator, the steps are simple and can be done in just a few minutes.

Once the corned beef is prepared, you can mix it into corned beef hash in the morning, along with warm, fresh biscuits. After the parade, when all the guests are looking for something filling to soak up the alcohol, our recipe for Reuben sandwiches using the remainder of the corned beef will fit the bill.
