From above, you'll see a vibrant plate of food that is a sight to behold. The radioactive look of the corned beef hash in the center next to the elegant, cabbage arranged like a rose in a deep green circle. Around this, golden baby potatoes glisten with the sheen of the Guinness glaze. Freshly chopped green sprigs of parsley are sprinkled across the whole plate for an added pop of color.

Additional

Corned beef is a St. Patrick's Day staple in the United States, though it's not as commonly eaten in Ireland. Historically, Irish immigrants in America replaced the traditional bacon with beef, which was more readily available and less expensive. To make this meal kid-friendly, let them help in creating the cabbage roses. For a vegetarian version, replace the corned beef with a hearty vegetable like portabello mushrooms.
