Beer Bread

Beer Bread













Ingredients

  • 3 cups Instant Rise Flour
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1-12oz Bottle Beer
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup melted butter.
Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F

In a large bowl sift flour and sugar. Stir in Beer using a fork until combined.

Pour dough into greased loaf pan.

Pour melted butter over top of dough.

Bake at 375 F for 1 hour. (I place a baking sheet under my pan to catch the occasional butter drippings that sometimes want to spill over when I use to much butter.)

Remove bread to a cooling rack. Slice and serve.

*Different Beers will give your bread a slightly different flavor. Using a Fruity beverage such as Pomegranate Fusion tasted almost like a blueberry muffin. :-) Every once in awhile I will experiment, but not all flavored beverages will make your bread taste good, so experiment at your own risk. lol :-)

Note: If using All purpose flour instead of Instant Rise, add the following ingredients to your flour and sift together before adding the beer.
  • 3 tsp Baking Power
  • 1 tsp Salt

Cabbage Salsa

Cabbage Salsa













Ingredients
  • 1 bag of Shredded Cabbage
  • 1 large Onion, diced
  • 1 large Tomato, diced
  • 1/2 to 1 full bunch of Cilantro, chopped
  • Jalapeno, diced (optional, based on how spicy you would like)
  • 1/8 cup Lime Juice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Salt

Directions

Chop up cabbage a little smaller than it comes in the bag. Place in a large bowl. Finely dice onion, cilantro and jalapeno and add to the cabbage.

Add in Lime Juice, Salt, Pepper and Garlic Salt. Add more to taste as you desire.

Dice tomato and fold into cabbage. Refrigerate in an airtight container. Stir before serving and add addition salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with Tortilla chips and Enjoy!!

My Notes: I prefer Juanita's Tortilla Chips (Winco & WalMart around here carry them) They taste just like the restaurant ones. I will also wait until shortly before serving to add the diced tomato's if I make ahead of time. I like the freshness it gives the salsa.

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

I made these for the first time for dinner last night. They were good, but could have had more flavor. I plan to make them again and double the sauce to pour over the potatoes.

After eating I asked Adam "What did you think of the potatoes?" His awesome reply "They were edible." Just what every wife wants to hear!! :-) ha ha

He suggested I add some seasoning salt or something. Maybe I'll go with the "Something" lol

Ingredients
1 pound red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper


Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat an 11x7 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place potatoes in a single layer in prepared dish, and top with onion. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, honey, mustard, salt and pepper; drizzle over potatoes and onion.
Bake in the preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 35 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
