Irish Soda Bread
Today we spent our afternoon walking around the Loudoun Grown Expo in Purcellville, VA (about 30 min from our house). It was really fun to see all of the different opportunities for buying local produce, meat, cheese, HONEY and even skin care products. We met some local farmers and got a lot of information on local CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture).
After the Expo we headed over to Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve and walked around on the trails for a little while and hung out at the little pond. It was so nice to have a 60+ degree day in February. Today got me really excited for warmer weather. I can’t wait to do things like this more often. We finally feel healthy enough to adventure and explore!
Walking around Banshee Reeks and looking forward to warmer March weather- I was feeling very festive and decided to try my hand at a little Irish Soda Bread tonight.
