Irish Brown Bread
This is Irish soda bread gone whole grain. Feel free to add a handful of currants and a couple teaspoons of caraway seeds. Don’t over-knead: you want this to be tender like a biscuit and not chewy. Serve with any fall soup or chili or classic Irish dishes.

Grilled Peach Salsa
Nothing compares to the bright, sweet-tart, lip-smacking combination of fresh fruit, jalapeno, lime juice and cilantro and mint. Make a double batch and invite your friends. Slather it on your fish, your burgers, and your baked potatoes.
