Our seventeenth Family History Recipe comes from Natalie and is for Grandma Slama's Irish Soda Bread!

Natalie didn’t have too much to share about this recipe other than it came from her grandma. 

This is an easy recipe to make, not too many ingredients and easy directions – mix together and bake! Natalie served this with thick pats of butter. Taste Tester Jamie was ready to devour this bread. She did a speedy sniff test then went straight in for a bite. Jamie had time for a quick, pleased grin before taking her next bite!
