St. Patrick's Day 2025 & Irish Soda Bread

March 17, 2025


Hello friends.  


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!💚🍀


I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  One year we got green bagels from our local bagel store to celebrate for breakfast.  They were so good and looked so festive.  I might have to pick some up this year.😀



We like going to a local pub for lunch or dinner to have a good Irish meal.  Some years we've even gone to our local diner for Irish food or done take-out from them.

Below is a corned beef and cabbage meal.

I always make Irish Soda Bread each year.  I always use the same recipe from our friend's mom who was from Ireland.

I made it last week and used a little more buttermilk in the recipe because the batter was very dry.  I also don't boil the raisins.  This Irish Soda Bread tastes so delicious and I even gave some to my neighbor to enjoy.



One year I decided to change things up and made them into Irish Soda Bread Muffins.  They were good but I prefer them as bread.




I hope you have a fun time celebrating St. Patrick's Day! 💚🍀

  1. I have my corned beef cooking right now; I swear my husband has been talking about "his" corned beef dinner for a couple of weeks now!

  2. We had our corn beet and cabbage dinner yesterday. We went into Chicago for the South Side Irish Parade. It was fun but with the snow flurries it was cold. This crazy weather. Have a great week. Hugs. Kris

  3. That bagel looks so good right now. I made lentil shepherd's pie and my daughter made Irish soda bread. We had it last night for dinner --and probably will again tonight. We went to a parade a few weeks ago so it feels like we already had St. Patrick's Day! I hope you're not getting too wet in this yucky weather we're getting!

  7. I wish I would’ve seen this yesterday, I totally would’ve made your soda bread, but hey it doesn’t have to be St. Patrick’s Day to make it, right? Thank you for this Julie!
