Irish Soda Bread

For Saint Patrick's Day this year I decided to make an Irish dinner for my family. We had Corned Beef and cabbage and Irish Soda Bread. I have always wanted to make Irish Soda Bread and this was the perfect opportunity to try it! I have to say, it turned out amazing! This bread is very dense, but I loved the flavor and texture of it, plus it took all of 10 minutes to make it! I will post my very green Key Lime Bars next, what till you see them, they glow in the dark!


Amazing Easy Irish Soda Bread
adapted from allrecipes.com 

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/8 cup white sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 1/2 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. Brush loaf with heavy cream and sprinkle with white sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
Bake in preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
