Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread with Cranberries

203. ♣ Today, my honey brought home a beautiful homemade Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread. It was still warm from just being baked. My sweet friend baked it and shared it with our family. Instead of raisins, she used cranberries. They added a sweet surprise to every bite.

It was dense and crumbly, and when slathered with butter and jam, was a delicious breakfast meal.

I believe in love even when I feel it not,

I believe in God even when He is silent."
