I realized I never updated on St. Patrick's Day - which ended up being quite the feast this year! Photos are better than words:
Cupcakes (for work)!:
How adorable are these three?: 
Corned Beef & Cabbage (Braised in Guinness, of course!):

Quite the amazing food. I tweaked the recipes, but below are the recipes they were based on:
Here's the Irish Soda Bread receipt though - try it, you'll be thanking me until the day you die...
Irish Soda Bread
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Blend egg and
buttermilk together, and add all at once to the flour mixture. Mix just until
moistened. Stir in butter. Mix in raisins. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Wrap in foil for several hours, or overnight, for best flavor.
