My Irish side loves Irish Soda Bread. I always look forward to having this on St. Patrick's Day.

Back in high school, I tried to make it, but it was a total failure. Over 15 years later, I tried to make it again, using a recipe that my mother in law got from a good friend of hers. It was really good and so simple

I have tried to make it myself every year since I got this recipe. Hopefully, you will like it as much as we did. This recipe makes 1 large loaf or 2 small loaves. For mine, I used two 9 inch cake pans. #mycookbook

Enjoy!

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones.Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it.In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
