Vegan & Dairy Free Irish Soda Bread!

It is almost that green, magical, Irish kinda day where food, fun, drinks, and parades make me take out every piece of Celtic jewelry (Claddagh rings, Celtic knot necklaces etc), green clothing, and shamrock scarves/hair pieces that I own. Plus, I’m a teacher, so I can be as cheesy I want with warm lil’ leprechaun lovin’ comin’ my way. #whenkidsarecute … This awesome day that brings out the Irish in all of us? St. Patrick’s Day! Woo-hoo! This year, we’ll be seeing a parade and going to my fave restaurant to see Irish dancing, hear Irish music, and have a bagpiper walk around the restaurant whilst we chow down. Hell yeah! My kid eats this kinda shit up as much as I do. I’ve raised him well. 😉

I’ll keep this short. Vegan & Dairy Free Irish Soda Bread! Is a recipe from 2-years ago that I removed the egg from (click here for that recipe).

To end this post: St Pat’s Day rocks, Leprechaun tales are the tits, pots-of-gold are my dreams, green everything warms my soul, drunken parades & pipers channel my youth, and whiskey makes my Irish cheeks cheer with red. Sláinte!
