Irish Soda Bread

Some days, you’ve got everything figured out and planned out. Your calendar is exact, and your to-do list is completely checked off.

Then, there are other days when you just miss the boat and don’t get done what you want.

This week, I’ve been having some of those latter days. Like when I’ve been thinking about making Irish soda bread for St. Patrick’s Day, and it just doesn’t happen.

Ok, so I did make the bread on St. Patty’s Day evening, but in the blog world, that’s so behind.

So here I am, forgoing all of the unwritten rules of blogging and posting a St. Patty’s Day themed recipe two days after the holiday. #realtalk

Nonetheless, this Irish Soda Bread with Cherries (for those times when Whole Foods is out of dried currants) is so simple to make and a nice mix of savory and sweet. Take it from a non-bread maker, this recipe can help you make a last-minute loaf in no time.

Happy late St. Patty’s Day!
