This is not a new recipe but it is my favorite when it comes to Irish Soda Bread! 

But let me pre-warn you, I like my Irish Soda Bread on the "drier" side... kinda like a big fat scone.  So if you like a more cake like, moist soda bread, this is not the recipe for you.  On the flip side, if you like a more scone like soda bread, get out your bowl and get to work because this IS the recipe for you!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Batters up!  Here is my first new recipe using Quinoa this month.  I must say, quinoa is one of those ingredients that just has my wheels spinning... there are so many things you can do with it.

For some reason my mind keeps going toward sweets like muffins, cookies, and puddings but don't worry, I'm determined to get some savory dishes in there as well.  As a matter of fact, I'm thinking about making a Butternut Squash and Quinoa Frittata for dinner tonight... I'll keep you guys posted.

What can I say... the cool, crisp air really gets me in the mood for baking!  I have to be careful though, because unlike so many talented bakers out there, I have a hard time keeping my fingers out of the batter OR resisting anything that is fresh baked out the oven!

What is it about baking that seems to freak people out?? I mean, all you have to do is pop some ingredients in a bowl, mix em up, and stick them in the oven!
