AS St. Patrick's Day approaches, I am reposting an old favorite from 9 year ago. I developed this recipe for a holiday post, but I ended up cycling it into my repetoire pretty often. It's great with a bowl of Irish Stew or Dublin Coddle. So, from 2015: I had a six pack of Guinness on hand. I love cooking with stout, but I don’t particularly like drinking it … [Read more...] about Guinness and Oatmeal Quick Bread

I love cooking with mallty stout, but I don’t particularly like drinking it straight, so I was looking for ways to use all those bottles. An Irish-inspired rustic loaf seemed the perfect thing. This bread has the lovely, … [Read more...] about Guinness and Oatmeal Quick Bread
