Quick and Easy Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Recipe

on
Coffee and whole wheat toast are one of my breakfast mainstays. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up so why not whip up a loaf of Irish Soda Bread one of the greatest gifts this Lazy Budget Chef (who can’t proof bread to save her life) has ever known – the bread machine. As luck would have it I have more whole wheat flour than white and more raisins than normal because I went to a bulk bin without a container and bought more raisin than I thought. No problem. I’ll make a Irish style whole wheat bread featuring those those happy raisins sitting in my kitchen. I am using the bread machine to make and proof the dough for this recipe and baking the bread in the oven because I want the round shape of a traditional Irish style bread. You can bake it that way or you can bake the whole wheat Irish bread from start to finish in a bread machine. It will taste just the same although I personally think baking bread in the bread maker makes it a little more dense than when I bake bread machine do

Peach Rum Smoothie Recipe

on
I came back from the store with a big bunch of fresh peaches. It’s warm outside and I’m in a festive mood – peachy in fact – why not kick back on the front porch with a homemade peach smoothie?




Peach Rum Smoothie Recipe


 2 peaches

2/3 cup or so of plain yogurt (I had a single serving size of yogurt so that’s what I used.)

1 heaping tablespoon of apricot jelly (because we were out of orange juice. A splash of OJ works too.)

Spash of rum for fun (optional)

Make it

  1. Peel, pit, and slice the peaches.
  2. Blend the peaches, yogurt, jelly/juice, and rum in a blender until smooth.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator until cold (if you can wait that long.)
  4. Pour into a festive glass and enjoy!

A smoothie is often a breakfast, so I will surely enjoy trying this one, maybe without the rum early in the morning!
