DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

Perfect for St. Patricks Day! It's difficult, especially for women, to meet recommended dietary allowances for iron. Raisins are high in iron and will help you to meet your daily requirement. Skip the butter and choose a butter that lists a liquid oil as the first ingredient. Reduce salt to 3/4 teaspoon.
