Irish Soda Bread, in honour of the day. Up until my recent forays into yeast breads, this was the only bread I ever attempted, using a (lost) recipe from the (sadly) now defunct Gourmet Magazine.  So I shared a recipe from America's Test Kitchen. (Update - am happy to report that I found my original recipe from Gourmet and so have shared that also!)

If you haven't yet added quinoa to your menus - for breakfast, salads, dinner or desserts - read on.
