Yesterday I made Little Bitty Bake\u2019s Irish Soda Bread<\/a>. I didn\u2019t remember liking Irish soda bread but I figured it deserved another try. I added raisins and a tablespoon of caraway seeds. Not only is the bread quick and easy to make, it tasted awesome. Another loaf may be in my near future, the loaf didn\u2019t last very long.<\/p>\n Dinner last night was Dijon Corned Beef In the Slow Cooker<\/a> from A Year of Slow Cooking. The recipe has become my go-to for corned beef; this year I used spicy brown mustard instead of Dijon. I served the meat with roasted potatoes and saut\u00e9ed cabbage seasoned with dill and garlic powder.<\/p>\n Food Republic answers the question \u201cDoes Guinness really have as many calories as a Bud Light?\u201d<\/a> and gives us 11 facts you probably didn\u2019t know about Guinness<\/a>.<\/p>\n New varieties of Irish Whiskey to try<\/a>, from The Daily Meal.
