Instant Pot Corned Beef and Vegetables

By attosa

Instant Pot Corned Beef and Vegetables on plateI make corned beef and veggies every March in honour of my late grandfather. He was born on St. Patrick's day and absolutely adored corned beef. Now, this is first time I've tried making it all in my Instant Pot. I'm so happy I did because it was so incredibly delicious and super tender. This is by far my favourite method for making this dish.

Pot of Gold Fridge Decor

By tiffanytallent1981

Pot of Gold Fridge Decor - pots and coins on fridgeI thoroughly enjoy decorating for every holiday, but I hardly have money for expensive items. And this year, my employer is having me decorate the break room as well! I decided to decorate the fridge door and to incorporate every associate into the St. Patrick's Day theme. Making pots of gold was the easiest choice and turned out absolutely adorable.

Car Wash Mitt from Knit Hat

By rbeard729

Car Wash Mitt from Knit Hat - knit hat on bottle of car washIf you need a car wash mitt then use an old winter knit hat. This would probably apply to snow and freezing areas, where residents have winter wear. I have also used an old sock, but this would work better. The hat rinses out very easily and doesn't scratch surfaces.

Spring Pouf Wreath

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

I have seen these done, but never tried it till now. Boy, it was really hard without the proper tools, but I know better now. When you do this, don't try it without the "T" pins. They are invaluable.
