Healthy St. Patty's Day Options

Irish Soda, an American tradition for St. Pats Day---isn't seen that much on tables in Ireland.  Irish Brown Bread was served every morning at all the Bed & Breakfasts I stayed in.  It is much more flavorful, and nutritious than Irish Soda Bread due to the whole grains used in it.

1/2 cup pinhead oatmeal (see photo)
