My dear friend and neighbor, who has some Irish in her, asked me what I was posting on my blog for St. Patrick's Day.  I've always loved Irish soda bread with the tender crumb and ting flavor of baking soda that reminds me of simplicity.  So, I spent the weekend in my kitchen developing this gluten-free and dairy-free recipe and am so pleased with the results.  This one is for you, Jen!
