Here in the U.S., St. Patrick's Day -- traditionally celebrated on 17 March -- has moved far away from its origins as a religious feast day and firmly into the realm of secular celebrations. Cities like Chicago and Boston dye their rivers green and feature large St. Patrick's Day parades to celebrate Irish and Irish-American culture.

St. Patrick's Day in the U.S is also infamous for the consumption of alcoholic beverages, including green beer. For those of you who would like to embrace the tradition of drinking something green in a healthier way, we present a collection of green beverages from our Recipe archive for your enjoyment.

While the word "Hollandaise" means "Dutch" in French, it does not seem to have originated in Holland -- rather, it is considered one of the French haute cuisine "mother" sauces.

In the U.S., Hollandaise sauce is typically associated with Eggs Benedict or steamed asparagus, but we developed this version to partner with our EXPEDITOR™ Yorkshire pudding recipe (the ingredients for both of these recipes are show here).

Yorkshire pudding is a classic English dish that is considered a rite of passage for the aspiring cook, has an official ruling by the Royal Society of Chemistry on its height requirements, and even has its own holiday (in both the UK and the US). 

The best recipes recommend measuring ingredients by weight to get the right ratios and produce the best results, and our version is no different.

We may be stuck in the doldrums of winter here in Richmond, but that doesn't mean that we can't start dreaming of warmer days.

In that spirit, we present our EXPEDITOR™ tropical fruit smoothie bowl. The texture is the key here -- adjusting the blend time and ingredients means that the results are thicker than your average smoothie and meant to be enjoyed with a spoon rather than a straw.

Add vibrant color with your choice of garnishes, and it is guaranteed to brighten up a gloomy day.
