Bread is not easy. Anytime we deal with a living organism, there is unpredictability. Live things just don’t always do what we wish, or it takes longer, or it happens faster.

Her pancakes, her biscuits and of course her Irish Soda Bread (because, well that’s what today’s post is about), […]

If I didn’t call you back this spring, if I didn’t email you even though it was important, if you basically weren’t bleeding from the head or one of my girls (even if they weren’t bleeding from the head I paid attention to them), you may have heard, I was writing a cookbook. It sort […]

Italian Sausage Soup Sometimes I have leftover roasted garlic and I use it in place of the fresh garlic. If you have an herb garden like I do, then by all means use fresh herbs in place of the dried. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices (or hot […]

French Toast I will use almost any leftover bread for this recipe.
