This is not a new recipe but it is my favorite when it comes to Irish Soda Bread!
Growing up, my best friend lived right across the street and let me tell you, her dad perfected Irish Soda Bread! Using his recipe as my base, I make few clean, simple, & d'lishes substitutions to create my version of this St. Patty's Day favorite.
I like my Irish Soda Bread on the "drier" side... kinda like a big fat scone. So if you're anything like me, this might be the perfect recipe for you!
Happy St. Patty's Day!
Apparently, when one becomes pregnant, while the body focuses on nourishing the little blueberry, other bodily systems can have the the tendency to slow down. Let's just say I've been keeping the local bakeries in business lately buying bran muffins for breakfast and decided it was due time to get into the kitchen and whip up my own!
Rememeber all the extra mangos I mentioned I had on hand last week? Well it didn't take long to figure out what to do with them!
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!
