Ballymaloe’s Irish Soda Bread . $1.00

For years I’ve made Ballymaloe’s Brown Soda Bread, and we’ve always liked it, but this year I decided to try their white for my St. Patrick’s Day dinner. I don’t know what the hold out was on my part – some nod to tradition combined with a commitment to eat more whole grains. I feel like a sinner, but this bread is so beautiful!

My Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread, to me, is the “pinnacle” of Quick Bread. It’s a gorgeous bread, very moist, just a bit dense, like Pumpkin Bread should be. Of course, it’s flavored with the traditional Pumpkin Pie Spices, long before Pumpkin Pie Spice was even a thing.
