Pan seared steak marinated with cognac with bacon wrapped scallops and a side of batter dipped fried zucchini
One pot Greek chicken, lemon rice and roasted asparagus
Or
Just a simple lasagna and a salad
What's on the menu? Also, feel free to add your recipes/ideas.
Update:
The first recipe sounds like a heart attack. My gosh. Eh, give me something fat with a little flavor. And of course, in typical Zee fashion, I cooked nothing I planned. I ended up making a triple patty burger with pepper jack cheese, caramelized onion, jalapeño on an onion bun. Also, a side of fries smothered in gravy. I need help. 😠So much fat, clogged arteries... So good though. I'll be surprised if I make it to sixty. By the way, I'm surprised at all the good recipes shared here. Thank you.
Aldi Is Releasing 5 New Cheeses for St. Patrick’s Day - Aldi’s newest Irish cheeses made with whiskey and beer.
Aldi recently announced the addition of an Irish Cheese Truckle Assortment, which includes varieties of Irish cheddar made with Irish beer and whiskey. There’s also a Pesto Gouda and English Sage Derby, both of which are appropriately green for the holiday. The cheeses are all only $3.99 and will be available at locations nationwide starting February 27.
Irish Cheddar with Irish Whiskey
This Irish Cheddar from Happy Farms is imported directly from Ireland and infused with real Irish whiskey.
English Sage Derby
Aldi’s new English Sage Derby cheese is a mild, light cheese that’s made with sage—which gives the cheese a green marbled look.
Irish Cheddar with Irish Beer
Does it get more Irish than this? Celebrate the holiday by snacking on a rich and creamy imported Irish cheddar that’s infused with the classic nutty taste of Irish beer. It’s like drinking a Guinness and good Irish cheese all at once.
Pesto Gouda
Aldi’s newest Gouda is made with basil and garlic, giving it a green coloring and a slightly sweet, herbal flavor that is complemented by the garlic.
Aged Irish Cheddar
If you’re not looking to try new or unusual flavors this St. Patrick’s day, Aldi’s traditional Aged Irish Cheddar is the one to try. Imported straight from Ireland, this cheese has a slightly creamy texture with a rich and tangy taste.

Hawaiian Wedding Cake - part of the recipe is missing - reposting.
Hawaiian Wedding Cake
Makes: About 20 (2-by-2-inch servings) / Preparation time: 15 minutes / Total time: 1 hour (plus cooling time)
CAKE
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice (reserve 1/3 cup drained pineapple for the frosting if desired)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups walnuts
FROSTING
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, flour and sugar. Add the eggs, pineapple (with its juice), vanilla and nuts; mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
To make the frosting: Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, softened butter and vanilla. Fold in the reserved 1/3 cup pineapple if desired. Spread the whipped cream cheese mixture over the cooled cake. Cut into desired size squares.
2 Mix together black pepper, seasoning salt, garlic & onion powder. Rub evenly all over each pork chop.
3 Heat olive oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Lay pork chops on pan and allow to sear for 2 minutes without moving them. Flip the pork chops over and allow to sear for 1 minute longer.
4 Remove pork chops and place in an oven safe baking dish. I use a 19 x 13 Pyrex baking dish.
5 Pour in the water. You will want the water to come about 1/3 the way up the pork chop.
6 Cover baking dish tightly. I use tinfoil and seal the sides very tight. Place in preheated oven.
7 Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your pork should be at 160 degrees when done. I would not check until at least an 1 1/2 hours have past. You will let out all the steam that is keeping the chops moist.
8 The juices in the baking dish make a wonderful gravy.
