CHEDDAR CHEESE SODA BREAD When I started this blog, I couldn't wait to post this recipe, even though it is a great recipe for St. Patrick's Day. It really is the only soda bread recipe I make. As you can see in the photo below, I mad this in the fall--so...
This restaurant style bread is simple to make and produces 4 loaves in little time. My husband Allen loved it when we had cold weather parties (back then we were actually inside the house instead of the garage with the door open!) with soup and this bread on the...

ZUNI BREAD I cannot figure out where I found this recipe, but it is at least 30-35 years old. I probably clipped it out of a magazine or newspaper since this was before internet access. As usual, it has been modified a bit over the years and adapted...
