TAD DAY 20

I took a break from the whirlwind of closing on the sale of our home and packing to bake banana bread.  I know it seems crazy, but I have been wanting to bake a loaf of banana bread AND I needed to use up more food anyway.  

I am moving over the weekend and into next week and then I will be traveling... In other words, I will probably not be posting to TAD much, if at all.  I will continue to check in and see what's happening and I will try to make something each day, but this weary woman will be very busy for the rest of February.

TAD DAY 04

I made beer bread tonight.  Beer bread is no longer new to me, but I am very proud of it.  I am a timid baker who has been conquering her fear one baked good at a time, since last autumn.  My friend Jen shared a recipe for beer bread on her blog a few months ago.  It was an approachable "quick bread," but it wasn't sweet, and sounded tasty. I made it and fell in love.  Since then, I have substituted flaxseed meal for the white flour and I think the bread is very tasty this way.  I wanted to feel less guilty about scarfing it down, loaf after loaf and it turns out that I actually prefer it with the flaxseed.  I also use 14 oz of a very hoppy beer (Anchor Liberty Ale has worked best in my humble opinion) as opposed to 12 oz beer plus 2 oz water. 

Beer bread tastes most excellent with chili and with melted cheese, avocado, and egg.

I will probably have a couple food posts in the next few days because I have selected two new recipes to try in the next few days:

Chicken Cacciatore & Chana Masala
