Irish Soda Bread

I have some exciting news that I’ve been wanting to share for a couple weeks now… Starting today, I will be contributing as the newest blogger over at Yankee Magazine. Every other week, I’ll be posting about a Yankee recipe over at Cooking New England. Keep your eyes out for this “As Seen on Yankee” icon to indicate the recipes that I’m posting over there. I also added the icon to my left sidebar so you can click over to Cooking New England any time you’d like.

If you don’t live in New England you may not have heard of Yankee Magazine. It’s a regional magazine that’s all things New England – from food to travel to the best tourist attractions and everything in between. For my first post, I decided to take a stab at Irish Soda Bread. Be sure to click through to get the full recipe.
