Since St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner I decided to make my favorite brown bread. I've never been a big fan of Irish soda bread, but a few years ago I tried Peggy's brown bread and absolutely loved it! Peggy is my mom's best friend from Cavan, Ireland, and she's like another mom to me. More importantly she has become a friend and I'm lucky that she is part of my life. I always look forward to stopping at Peggy's house when I go home for a cup of tea and girl talk! When my mom and Peg come visit me in Boston for our annual girl's weekend, it's always a fun time full of good food, shopping, and a lot of laughs! A few months ago I asked Peggy for this recipe and she was kind enough to share it with me.
