M
arch is a huge month
in our calendar year.
Among other things, it heralds
the arrival of spring with ex-
travagant fl ower displays that
say, ‘Winter is over. Yea!’ And
thanks to congress, it also ush-
ers in Daylight Savings time.
Boo. (I hate losing an hour of
sleep.)
It is also National Nutri-
tion Month—an event that we
ignore during March’s other
holidays. Today’s recipes are
not particularly healthy. Tasty
and calorie laden, yes. But
there’s not a vegetable among
them, so you’d better plan
“healthy” around your main
course meals.
For instance, March 17 is
St. Patrick’s Day, and it’s easy
to cook up a corned beef bris-
ket and veggies. Simmer your
corned beef all day. Then add
potatoes, carrots and cabbage
to round out the main event.
To make dinner really special,
bake traditional Irish Soda
Bread. A simple recipe fol-
lows. Be sure and use butter-
milk in the batter.
Two of the most holy days
in the Christian Church fall in
March this year: Easter Sun-
day (the resurrection of Jesus
Christ) and Good Friday (Je-
sus’ death on the cross). Ac-
cording to tradition, hot cross
buns are eaten on Good Friday
to remind people of Christ’s
death. The origins of those
buns are somewhat controver-
sial, mostly because of their
possibly pagan connections
and commercial uses.
As a Christian, they simply
remind me of Good Friday,
and I eat them in humble re-
membrance of the event. But
even if you’re not a Christian,
they’re mighty tasty, so you
can still enjoy them. The recipe
that follows is a nutmeg-and-
cinnamon-spiced yeast dough
bun. Lemon icing is easily
piped through a zip-top bag
corner to form the traditional
cross on top. If you don’t like
lemon, substitute milk and va-
nilla for fl avoring.
Finally, there is no tradi-
tional Easter dessert that I
know of. Every family has
their own specialty. My fa-
vorite is lemon meringue pie
or any strawberry and cream
concoction. My husband’s is
New York Cheesecake or a
German Pineapple Schaum
Torte. I think this year we will
compromise and eat a Lemon
Schaum Torte.
Whatever your traditions I
hope that you enjoy the fel-
lowship and the food and re-
member the reason for the sea-

EASY IRISH
SODA BREAD
2 cups fl our
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons buttermilk

sheet
In a large bowl, mix together
dry ingredients with marga-

egg. Turn dough out onto a
lightly fl oured surface and
knead slightly. Form dough
into a round and place on
prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine
melted butter with remaining
buttermilk; brush loaf with
this mixture. Use a sharp
knife to cut an “X” into the
top of the loaf.
Bake in preheated oven until
a toothpick inserted into the
center of the loaf comes out
clean — about 30 to 45 min-
utes. Continue to brush the
loaf with butter mixture while
it bakes. Serves 6-8.
