Noni's Corned Beef and Cabbage

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone! I hope you found something green to keep from getting pinched. I am really excited for this post. Today I am sharing one of my favorite recipes from my grandma Noni's kitchen. I am very fortunate to be really close to my grandparents and one of the perks is gaining traditional family recipe tips and tricks. I asked Noni if she would teach me how to make her famous corned beef and cabbage this year for St. Patricks day and she said yes! Yay! So I spent a whole day taking a cooking class from her. This recipe is not as hard as it looks as long as you are patient. It is very time consuming but it tastes fantastic and you can use the left overs for Reuben Sandwiches. You can find a step-by-step recipe below with ingredients. Be sure to check back for more of my family's favorite recipes soon! Enjoy.
