Irish Inspiration Around the World

St. Paddy’s Day is here, and while corned beef and cabbage is an obvious culinary tribute, I’ve been craving a delicious Irish Beer and Cheese Bread that Marilyn learned to make growing up in Texas (which is a country of its own). Plus, even though you’re reading this on St. Paddy’s, you can still get in the kitchen today in time for an Irish-inspired complement to dinner tonight.
Irish Beer and Cheese Bread is like a biscuit, but it’s baked in a loaf pan (translation: it’s quick and easy to make). It’s especially good served with a crisp vegetable salad, or with a creamy soup like potato and leek. But the leftovers are the best…toasted, with bacon and eggs.
