If you know my last name, you know I’m very IRISH! [More so by marriage than by blood…but regardless, Irish!]. Green beer this evening will ensue. Guaranteed. 😉
With a warm front (ahhh…60’s) hitting Tulsa, stew seemed… not quite right. But there’s ALWAYS room for whole grain carbs in this Irish heart (and tummy)!
I am submitting this Brown Soda Bread recipe to the Regional Recipes: Ireland hosted by Joanne!
Brown Soda Bread from Cooking Light
Cooking spray
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup steel-cut oats

Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Bake at 325º F for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Invert brad onto a wire rack; cool completely. Remove parchment; slice bread into 12 slices. Yield: 12 servings.

Have a green great day,
Since you reminded me I’ll wear a green t-shirt today and maybe my green underwear…tmi? Have a good day!
Author
Haha, I hope those underwear brought you luck today!
I love that you’re wearing your green today! So cute! I too have a gym in the bag from Jerry and can’t wait to use it. Let me know what you think of it.
Looks like the leprechauns set to work on your garden to make it green for St. Paddy’s Day! Can’t wait to see all the veggies when they are full grown. It looks VERY promising.
I’ve never had brown bread! This is something that needs to be changed because yours looks delicious.
Its so exciting to see your garden starting to grow. You have put in so much work and its paying off!
I have such fond memories of my mom’s Irish Soda Bread. I would try making hers, but I’m afraid nothing could be as good as what I remember.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I had a GREEN monster this morning! 🙂
I had a GM this morning. I look sooooo bad in the color green, I don’t know that I will wear any today. Maybe a greenish-teal.
Look how beautiful your garden is already! How exciting!
Oh wow, your garden looks great!
Of course I’ll drink my greens 🙂
And Zevia is such a weakness of mine, too, and I’m getting 12 more cans!
Happy St. Patty’s Day!!! Have a great time drinking green beer 😉
I woke up late and forgot to wear green 🙁 oh well.
It’s nice to see that your garden is coming along so quickly!
your garden looks great!!! I can’t wait to plant mine
I’m seriously lacking greens on St. Patty’s! I can’t believe how quick your garden is growing…thats awesome!
Your garden looks great.
How did the bread taste? The recipe sounds good!
Author
It is very good! My husband said it was a bit bland, but I really liked it! 🙂
I won’t be doing anything special for St. Patty’s day and am not even wearing green. No real reason though.
Yay for some green in the garden 😀
I’m wearing green scrubs too! 🙂 Your bread sounds fantastic – I love oatmeal in Irish soda bread… Hooray for your flourishing garden!!
The pics of your garden make me so excited. I have to get started on mine. As soon as I got to your pictures I decided to devote this weekend to working on my edible garden, but then realized I’ll be gone… luckily I have a few days off the following week. Must get things planted so I can have that same feeling of delight of things growing!
Oh I love soda bread! I’ve decided to make some tonight along with sweet potato shepards pie :). Glad your gardens growing so nicely- mine is too!
That bread looks great…might be making that this weekend! YUM!
Oh you’re so much more festive than me, and I’m Irish by blood. No green today. I know, I suck. Don’t tell my grandfather!
Wow – look at those plants take off! I cannot wait to see your garden in full bloom.
I want to try the Zevia drinks so badly, since I’m a Diet coke addict!
I’m definitely wearing green today, and hope to enjoy a green beer or two tonight. Not 6 or 7 like last year, when I had to call in sick the next day. 😉
Ahh your garden is sprouting! That’s so exciting!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Hooray for the garden. Look at the green you have there for St. Patrick’s day. Enjoy the green beer.
Happy St. Patty’s day! My roommate made some Irish soda bread yesterday and added some raisins to it…so delicious! And I had a green smoothie this morning! I definitely felt that it started my St. Patty’s day off right.
I saw that recipe on the CL website it looked good! my roomate made irish soda bread yesterdy and it said “for best results let it sit overnight in aluminum foil’ sooo I have to wait till today to try it!!
I had a salad for lunch, if that counts, its green 🙂
I’m glad you like the Zevia :-). And your garden’s looking great!!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!! 🙂 Your brown soda bread looks so good!! I love zevia!! Way to go on the sprouts in your garden!! 🙂
oh i love sida bread and love cooking light….what a great recipe 🙂
have fun tonight and congrats being featured on carrots and cake!
You little plants are already doing so well! I love the idea of a brown soda bread too – yum! Happy St. Patty’s Day!
Happy St. Patty’s Day!!!!!! The gardens are both looking great! Is your thumb green????
I love the garden pics! 🙂 And the soda bread sounds great!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
Your garden is going to be SO awesome!! Im totally jealous of it.
Im wearing green today totally by accident. My plans for tonight dont involve green beer, but they DO involve booze! lol Im bottling wine with my mom and my grandma. Its actually their wine, but theyre going to pay me with a couple of bottles so Im all for it!
Author
What a deal! And so neat that they ferment and bottle their own wine! I love beer and wine equally! Mmm!
I wore a green shirt under my scrubs today! So exciting that your garden is starting to grow 🙂
Author
I’m so glad another RD gets to wear scrubs! I’m hopeful that my next job has such a lax dress code 🙂 I <3 scrubs!
What a delicious and healthy bread! I’m not wearing any green! Boo on me. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Having your garden is going to be so much fun! I wish I could just walk outside and pick out an onion!
I had a green monster! And our office had a salad party. So I had plenty of green for lunch!
I wore a green sweater/cropped shirt deal today over a brown tank. It was olivey green so not obnoxious or anything! I got told I looked too professional during my lunch shift serving job. Ha, whatever.. not at all. I also had a big Chipotle salad so a lot of green there.
HAPPY ST PATS to you! Have fun drinking them green beers <3
Sooo jealous of your garden!!!!
Yum! I love Irish soda bread, but I confess I’ve never made a whole grain version. I’ll have to try this one before the next St. Paddy’s day rolls around. 🙂
You’ve got sprouts! Your garden has a very auspicious beginning 🙂
I love your garden! I am so jealous, I can’t wait to get one of my own! have you ever grown herbs inside, without having an outside garden?
oh ya, your last name IS totally irish! mmm soda bread, looks great!
Ah, that brown irish bread is screaming to be toasted with butter! Yum!
And girl, your garden is budding so nicely! How prosperous it is! I’m so envious..imagine being able to create a salad with everything from your backyard!
Okay lil’ late, but happy belated St. Paddy’s day! And now, I am itching to try the Zevia drinks! Super excited about your garden. Can we say … rewarding!?!
Wow they’re growing fast! How exciting :). I, sadly, would unconciously kill every plant in sight but I’d love to have my own garden nevertheless.
I’m so excited about your garden!! I’ll have to get some tips from you because Nick and I plan to start gardening the second we move into our new house. I want to plant some kale and spinach, first. I am sick of buying organic spinach (because it’s on the dirty list) and paying 6 dollars each time, what a rip off! I guess it’s sort of worth it though….
I didn’t wear green or eating anything green (other than spinach) yesterday. I did have a green…labeled..beer! It was a Sierra Nevada and it was deeeelicious.
I hope you had a wonderful St. Paddy’s Day, Nicole! I am thrilled to see your garden looking so good…you’re a natural greenthumb!
