It's especially at this time of year that Irish Soda Bread is baked and enjoyed! You know the yummy bread that is just filled with sweet raisins with every bite. At least the Irish Soda Bread that I bake is. Yes, you can purchase one that can be a tad dry in texture and /or not contain lots of raisins. If you are going to enjoy this delicious traditional bread on St. Patrick's Day weekend, bake one using this recipe. It's that good!

***Three ingredients are key here- Butter, Raisins and Buttermilk. The Butter is melted first and cooled before adding into the other ingredients. The Raisins are soaked in hot water and drained before adding them in.

Did I mention that no eggs are needed in this recipe? There are no eggs. 

In the photo below the sticky raisin filled dough is ready to be placed in the oven.

Tomato Basil White Bean Soup

Oh, it was cold this week here in Massachusetts! There were also wind chills that made the cold temperatures feel even colder! Well, it is New England and it does happen. A bowl of hearty soup on a frigid night always tastes so good. One soup that takes very little time to prepare and is delicious is Tomato Basil White Bean Soup.

After placing all of the ingredients in a large pot, stir and then bring to a boil. After boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and simmer for 30 Minutes. It is so easy to prep and tastes so good! Each spoonful has small bits of tomato and beans combined with Parsley and Basil. 

If I already have cooked Rice in my fridge, I add that to the pot at the end, to heat the Rice up. If not, I prepare a small amount of Couscous and put it in the bottom of each soup bowl. Then, add the soup and stir the Couscous into the soup.

Minestrone Soup

The chilly weather has arrived! At dinnertime a bowl of hot soup filled with veggies will taste so good. It is at this time I remember Minestrone Soup. Usually the ingredients are in our pantry and our freezer. Yes, they have been located today, so before dinner I will be getting this soup ready.  These days I stay away from carrots- due to the recall, so they will not be one of the ingredients today.  

If you enjoy a bowl of soup, make a batch of Minestrone this weekend. I freeze the extra portions to enjoy on another cold evening.

My easy recipe for Minestrone Soup . It is delicious!

Enjoy!
Yummy!
