~Beer Bread~

Today I made an easy delicious Beer Bread to have with dinner as I was making Honey Grilled Shrimp too and wanted a fancier Sunday dinner.  This only required the bread mix and beer so I had all the ingredients.

 

 What you need:  Beer Bread mix, 12 oz can of beer or clear carbonated soda.  I used a 12 oz bottle of beer instead and it worked just fine!

 

 Instructions: Mix contents of package with 1 can (I used a bottle) of beer.

 

 Here it us all mixed up.

 

 Pour into greased9 x 5 loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

 

 Here it is fresh out of the oven.

 

 

It was so good, we had to try a couple of slices it smelled too good to wait for dinner. Get some today!

~ Pumpkin Bread ~

 I made this a few weeks ago and used mini muffin pans, i.e., bite size muffins for a nice little treat. 

And since it is the season for pumpkins with Halloween coming up..why not enjoy some yourself?

Here's what you need: Pumpkin Bread mix, eggs, vegetable oil (I use olive oil), water, and 8 oz can of pumpkin

 Preheat oven to 350. Using an electric mixer, mix 8 oz can of pumpkin, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup water and contents of the bag. 

 The next directions indicate to pour into greased 9 x 5 loaf pan, but I placed the batter all in mini muffin pans. Then place in oven and bake. The loaf indicates 50-60 minutes, but my muffins were about 20 minutes.

 

Optional: Drizzle with glaze made of powdered sugar and a little water. Here they are cooling on a rack! I froze some of these to have for breakfast when I want something a little different yet home made.
