I’m pretty sure this is the first St. Patty’s Day weekend in a LONG time where Jay and I will not be getting dressed up in our green, getting together bright and early with friends, and basically boozing our faces off all day long.
Not that I wouldn’t have still enjoyed dressing up in all my green and getting together with friends (minus the drinking part, of course), but unfortunately we just couldn’t make it work this year.
That’s not to say we aren’t getting together with friends later today. Oh no…that we definitely are. But we’ll be enjoying the evening eating a nice, homemade Mexican meal prepped by all of the ladies. Not exactly in line with typical St. Patty’s Day shenanigans, I suppose you’d say?
circa 2012
But either way, it’s going to be a blast – decked out on green or not – and I’m looking forward to getting my Mexican feast on later this evening.
In the meantime, I’m sure that many of you are probably going to be partaking in some St. Patty’s Day festivities this weekend, and I think I would be remiss if I did not mention these perfectly festive cupcakes.
Some of you may remember when I made this last year, but I would strongly encourage you to check them out. I have a feeling your fellow Irish friends and family would surely enjoy their deliciousness.
I’m almost wondering if I should make them to include in our Mexican themed dinner tonight…that’d work, right?
Have a great weekend everyone! And if you’re out enjoying the festivities, stay safe!

Yum….the cupcakes look fabulous and I think you could pretty much make cupcakes work with any meal, especially if it’s Mexican food! Have a fun day!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Cupcakes ALWAYS work for dessert – no matter what’s for dinner. ;)

Jessica @ Prayers and Apples says
I know!! This is the first year I’m not doing the same thing! I usually wear a sparkling green tiara and everything lol :)
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
Wow, you guys really go all out each year, huh? Before I moved to Boston, I never realized that people like REALLY celebrate St. Patty’s. Where I’m from, it’s just not that big of a deal.
Those cupcakes look delish!
Lisa says

Make ’em Make ’em Make ’em! If they are as amazing as you say, then they DEFINITELY need to be a part of y’alls meal tonight. Have fun!
Angela @ Health's Angel says
YUM. Those look great! I wish I had an excuse to bake them. But I really never do anything special for St. Patty’s. I’m not Irish and drinking all day just isn’t my style, even though that’s what most of my friends do every year! Pittsburgh is home to the 2nd biggest St. Patty’s parade in the country. :)
Nicole @ FruitNFitness says
Mexican sounds way better than boring Irish food! Hope you enjoy your relaxing evening!
Miranda @ Miranda Runs says
So… is St.Patty’s day today or tomorrow? I feel so out of the loop!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I was saying to my husband earlier that last year on this weekend, we were going wine tasting and drinking green beer. This year, I’m running errands for the baby while dealing with Braxton Hicks contractions! ;) My, how the times have changed!
Jenna @ Crazy Healthy Fit says
I’m all about Mexican food. LOVE everything about it. So, i’m with you on that front.
Angela says
Those cupcakes look amazing!! Perfect for St. Patrick’s day. :)
Ellie@Fit for the Soul says
Okay this may sound funny but you look exactly the same in all your pictures, meaning that you haven’t aged one bit and always look so youthful! :D I hope that happens to me ;) And Mexican and Irish? Sounds good to me! I particularly love those swirls in the cake.
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
I’d like to think that cupcakes work with every meal :-p Have a great time tonight!
Ashley @ Life and Fitness says
Those cupcakes look good! Well any type of cupcakes always look good to me :) I’m not much of a beer drinker so st Patrick’s is not really my holiday. I like my margaritas better!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
i rarely make cupcakes, but these look awesome (as do all your recipes!)

I’d be even more excited about the Mexican food dinner if there were also cupcakes there! :) Hope you have fun!
