Whole Wheat Potato Bread
I’m not Irish but I like the green decorations spread throughout the stores and malls. I love the clover light my neighbors are having in front of the house. I wonder which one of them is Irish. My favorite color is green, so it’s no surprise I like St. Patrick. I’m not a big fan…

Steakhouse Bread
We don’t go often to steakhouse. As vegetarian we need a good excuse to have dinner at Outback or another steakhouse but we do go there when we’re visiting family in South Carolina. My mother in law loves a good steak and there are several local restaurants that we go to every time we visit her. The…
