If you’re looking to mix up your festivities this St. Paddy’s Day look no further! Did you know that St. Paddy’s Day is also called the Feast Day of Saint Patrick? Originally St. Patrick's Day was celebrated with religious services and large feasts, it wasn’t until emigrants from Ireland came to the United States that St. Paddy’s Day became the celebration of all things Irish. So why not celebrate this St. Paddy’s Day with a feast of your own? Check out this blog from Montana Gift Corral for some wonderful recipes that are the perfect blend of Irish and Montanan.

Christmas is a time to celebrate what's important to you, and any true Montanan knows that includes our beloved Big Sky Country!

Charcuterie is a French term derived from the root woods of chair, ‘meat,’ and cuit, ‘cooked.’ Defined as a style of cooking that produces prepared meats, such as bacon, salami, pepperoni, and sausage, the term charcuterie has evolved in popular culture to represent a meat and cheese tray with fruits, spreads, pickled items, bread, and so much more! In summary, a charcuterie board stands for a good time!
