Posted on March 19, 2023 by HelenFern

It’s been a busy week. My husband and I both got sick a couple weeks ago and it turned out to be covid. The worst part is the lingering brain fog and lack of energy. But with the weather getting nicer I’ve been trying to work out there – mostly just sitting enjoying the sun.

Dublin Coddle and Irish Brown Bread

Posted on March 17, 2023 by HelenFern

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Everyone is busy making corned beef and cabbage, but it’s not a traditional Irish dish! Irish Americans used corned beef as a substitute for bacon in their Bacon and Cabbage dish. But coddle – now that’s a truly Irish dish!

Irish

A working class meal, coddle (from the French word caudle – to boil gently) is traditionally made of left-overs and served with bread to soak it all up. Made with potatoes, rashers (bacon), sausage and onion (no carrots in traditional coddle).

Soda bread or brown bread is typically served with it – a bread made without yeast, but rather baking soda. And both are so easy!! Continue reading →

Vegan “Egg Salad” Sandwiches

Posted on March 14, 2023 by HelenFern

I’m playing with garbanzo beans and vegan foods again! This time it’s one of my favorites sandwiches – Egg salad, sans any eggs! It’s easy and delicious!

They have magnesium, iron, folate, zinc, vitamin B6 and thiamine, just to name a few vitamins and minerals. These humble beans are a perfect vegan alternative to meat!

Spring has been trying to show it’s face lately, and then poof! It snows again. Wildly crazy weather! I have my vegetable seeds going and will be putting them in the ground at the end of the month. I can’t wait for the harvest!
