Almost everybody in the blog world knows I LOVE to cook & bake…and any holiday means I’m in the kitchen!

So, I don’t have to be Irish to fire up my crockpot for corned beef and veggies–and bake the real treat:  Irish Soda Bread.  I have 2 recipes, and make both: Traditional, and Savory.  

These recipes are so easy and quick–I should make them throughout the year, not just pine away until St Pat’s Day.

The traditional recipe is sweeter–with raisins and cinnamon, and a bit of vanilla.  But the “savory” bread is just as delish, if not more so:  you get the sweetness (but no raisins) and a little “bite” from red pepper, garlic and caraway seeds.

I’ve baked 4 lovely round loaves to share…mmm, slice it warm and slather with buttter…heavenly!
