This is my family's traditional St. Patrick's Day bread. My grandmother has had this recipe for longer than I've been alive. I was SHOCKED to find out this wasn't real Irish Soda Bread, but instead more commonly known as Spotted Dog. Whatever you call it, it is unbeatable topped with a bit of butter.

Easy Cabbage Roll Casserole
Forget trying to roll the cabbage rolls. I tried this once and realized that I didn't need to spend all that time making the rolls because they ended up looking the same on the plate anyways.
My Kid's Favorite Zucchini Bread
This zucchini bread recipe is delicious and moist — it's a great way to use up all the zucchini your garden produces. Shred the zucchini first, and let it sit in a colander to drain while putting the other ingredients together. I use very large zucchini from my garden and cut out all the seeds. Use any leftover shredded zucchini to make fritters.
Chipotle and Adobo Pickled Eggs
These pickled eggs are great sliced and served on a salad or just eat them plain for a quick low carb snack! You can adjust the heat by adding more or less chipotle and adobo.
