I had to pick up a few ingredients for an exciting dinner recipe and stopped by Trader Joe’s this morning. This “Blarney Scone” caught my eye. It is actually not a scone, it’s Irish Soda bread with a fun name 
Last year at this time I was living in Maryland and tried Irish Soda bread for the first time from Great Harvest. It was amazing, only better. Note how the package is open as I have a problem waiting till I get home to try new things.
I toasted a piece and put some ICBINB on it. Yes, get it. It is slightly sweet, but has a savory aspect because of the caraway seeds.
The rest of my lunch consisted of a Sink Salad. I have been craving beans like no one’s business lately! I think because I’ve been so “egg focused” lately I forgot how much I love beans! Well, they are back big time.
Speaking of living in Maryland – I ended up getting caught up reading a bunch of my old posts from this time last year. Here is the day Ben and I went to the DC Zoo. I can’t believe it’s been a year!
I saw the Blarney Scone at TJ’s this weekend – thought it was hilar. Aw, the DC Zoo makes me so sad. All the animals look so tired and scraggly.
Beans show up in my diet every day. I have to have some kind or I got a little batty 🙂
That soda bread looks amazing. Yum
I’m craving beans, too! Making bean burgers for dinner. Yum!
I have never tried Irish soda bread, Im going to look for that next time I’m at TJs!
I just went to Trader Joe’s… why didn’t mine have that?! I want!
It’s been so long since I’ve had beans, too! i need to get me some! looks yumy
Last week I found a recipe for Irish Soda Bread on the trader joe’s website and gave it a try yesterday (with a few healthy tweaks) and it turned out great! I love Irish Soda Bread. So glad I can make it year round now!
YUM! I’m planning on making whole wheat soda bread for Thursday, but nice to know there’s a quick backup:)
