There’s something about this loaf that actually makes me want to snack on plain slices. I’ve made soda bread before — the brown butter whole wheat version — and loved it. That … Read more

This chicken isn’t new to me—I first made it seven weeks ago, then again two weeks later. It started as a quick weeknight meal inspired by a favorite crunchy honey chicken recipe.
