Beer Bread Recipe - Food.com - 73440 I have made this recipe hundreds of times...usually use self-rising flour, but I NEVER add any sugar, as I hate sweet tastes, and it always comes out wonderful, but has a definite beer taste. I have added various herbs at times, and have also added various cheeses. Cheddar (mild) is my fav. You also do not have to "pour butter" on top, or even add it to the mix. no-bake energy bites I probably should have poured a nice stiff drink recipe for you all on this loveliest of lovely tax days. Especially for my fellow small business owners who just gave half of their revenue back to the government. Good grief, I won’t even go there. Instead though, I thought I’d offer my idea of a more comforting alternative. Pasta. When life is good, and when life gets crazy, I turn to pasta. And just as it has for years, this one hit the spot.

Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chickpea Salad The changing of the seasons typically coincide with changes in my workout schedules. As the temperature dropped over the past few weeks, I started to shift my outdoor runs to the . By the time midday strikes, the temperature has usually warmed up by 7-10 degrees Celsius which is substantial when you are running outdoors! For example, when I got up this morning it was (26F) and by noon it had warmed up to (48F). My lunchtime workouts have left me with the big ‘before or after’ question regarding the Do I eat lunch my run or do I eat my run? I have been experimenting with eating lunch before or after my run and I have found that when I eat my lunch 30-45 minutes my run , I have much more energy than if I wait to eat until after. After yesterday’s awesome Avocado-Lime Black Bean Salad , I was inspired yet again to mix it up for lunch. Cinnamon Spice Sweet Potato Chickpea Salad Ingredients: 1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas : 4.16 miles
Cooking With My Food Storage: How to Use Shortening Powder--Yes you can make pie crust and sugar cookies Storing fats long term is tricky. Fats have a very short shelf life, for example unopened Crisco shortening has a shelf life of 2 years. That is not very long. Shortening powder has a shelf life of 10 years making it a great option for long term storage. Many of you have asked me how shortening powder works and how to use it. Whitney who write the blog Thrive with Hemasth is here to show us how to make awesome and EASY pie crust and sugar cookies using shortening powder. Source: D Sharon Pruitt It seems that my whole culinary life, I have been hunting for the best sugar cookie and pie crust recipes. Lots of people say that this product can be tricky to work with.

Okay, so enough chit-chat, let's get to those recipes. Sugar Cookies 1/2 c sugar 1/2 c shortening powder 1 tbsp egg powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/8 tsp salt
Almost Too Easy Whole Wheat Beer Bread Recipe A warm, hearty loaf of flavorful whole grain bread in about an hour. Two days ago I wrote a post on how to make homemade beer bread. Since then, several of you have asked me about substituting whole wheat flour for some of the all-purpose flour in the recipe. Instead of the three cups of all-purpose (white) flour in the original recipe, I used two cups of whole wheat all-purpose flour and one cup of all-purpose flour. I decided not to add any herbs or cheese to the basic mix. Within minutes of putting the bread in the oven, the kitchen smelled divine. I again used a bottle of our homebrewed Irish pale ale, and the flavor of the beer really came through. Farmgirl Susan's Almost Too Easy Whole Wheat Beer Bread RecipeMakes one loaf 2 cups organic whole wheat flour 1 cup organic all-purpose flour 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 Tablespoon baking powder (make sure it's fresh!) Optional glaze: 1 egg & 2 teaspoons water, beaten Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Still hungry?
Homemade Calzone I wanted to make something to take on the road, but the contents of the refrigerator were saying PIZZA. Hmmm... pizza is not so portable. Then I remembered CALZONE! Calzone is basically the same as pizza but with a much prettier appearance. If you want to impress your family, make your regular pizza into a calzone, and watch them "ooh and ahh." Roll pizza dough into a rectangle the length of your baking sheet. Put sauce on the center half of the dough. Just like pizza, add your toppings (our favorites are pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms). Then add cheese. Now comes the special part. This is what it looks like when all the cuts are made. Then "wrap the baby." Here is the calzone ready to bake. Uh oh... don't do what I did. For the second one, I remembered to start with my rectangle of dough ON a baking sheet. By the way, the same dough wrapping technique can be used for sweet fillings too.
Sweet Corn Fritters with Jalapeno Whipped Cream, Strawberry Pineapple Salsa and Brown Sugar Tequila Syrup But that’s not all. There are also strawberries and pineapple(s?) and brown sugar TEQUILA syrup and heaven. Oh and I wear bright socks while I… live my life It makes things 131% better. Did I tell you there was brown sugar tequi… okay. This is another recipe from that dessert contest I judged a few weeks ago. This.is.gold. And the best part? And here’s the kicker: Erin clearly had to prepare this entire thing for 30 people – the fritters, the fruit, the whipped cream and the syrup – at her HOME, waaaaay before the contest began, and it was still fabulous. But I don’t know anyone who’d do that. Anyhoo – while the combination of all four parts totally makes the dish, just trying the fritters, or the whipped cream on something crazy, or the syrup poured directly into your mouth is a wise idea. Jalapeno Whipped Cream 1 cup heavy cream 2 jalapenos (1 seeded, 1 not), cut in half 1 tablespoon powdered sugar Brown Sugar Tequila Syrup 3/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar 1/2 cup tequila 1/4 cup water
