A Healthy St. Patrick’s Day

Irish Pride (via gfpeck)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! It is officially that time of the year, the final stretch before winter vaults into spring, when everyone has to green it up, get sloshed on Jameson, and wear patently sexy shirts like the one I have that reads: “Kiss me I’m (1/3) Irish.” In a similar fashion to my widely revered and respected Healthy Super Bowl post, I am offering, to you, a Healthy St. Patrick’s Day menu of alternatives. BLASPHEMER, you say? I’M BLOGGING FOR A FITNESS WEBSITE YOU JACKASS, I slur, before decking your boyfriend and ripping my shirt off so you can admire my dead sexy freckles. Check out the list after the jump.

Mr. Mohawk's Recipe for a Healthy St. Patrick's Day:

1. Guinness is entirely acceptable. 170 calories isn’t so bad. 
2. However, try Jameson instead. A shot is 138 calories and taste better off a beer wench’s bosom. 
3. A Car Bomb, however, isn’t a great idea. But since when has one ever been a great idea? 
4. The corned beef hash and cheese ale soup here look amazing. 
5. Vegan Irish Soda Bread anyone? 
6. If you are a beer snob, here’s a lovely article from Shine that lists the lowest caloric count and carbs beers. Why am I posting these? The comments below, of course. 

Alrighty then, let me close with an Irish toast: May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
