Beer Bread

Secret Recipe Club
This is reveal day for The Secret Recipe Club's Group B!

My assignment this month was Melissa's blog, Smells Like Brownies

Before I visited Melissa's blog, I thought I was in for a lot of sweet treats. Well, I can attest that Melissa's kitchen smells like more than brownies. It also smells like Garlic-Chili-Lime Acorn Sqaush, Boozy Mushroom Ragu, Pan-Seared Citrus Salmon, and, (okay, I have to show you some brownies) Coffee Brownies

Although the Boozy Mushrom Ragu almost made the #1 spot as my recipe choice, I ended up choosing to make Beer Bread for two reasons. One, I seldom make quick breads, so this was something easy and I didn't even have to get my KA out... just mix this up in a bowl with a spatula. Two, (and truth be told, the real reason I chose this recipe) I wanted to make Melissa's grilled cheese sandwich using this bread!
Onions, oregano, Worcestershire, Dijon, and cheese... grilled in a panini press. Don't have one? Use your George Foreman grill! 
This bread smelled so good and has a slightly sweet taste. The grilled cheese was wonderful with a glass of cold beer.

Take a minute to look at all the other scrumptious recipes on the blog hope below! Thanks for two great recipes, Melissa!

  6. Wow, this looks like it turned out great! And the texture of your bread looks WAY better than mine, which is usually a bit crumbly. I hope you enjoyed it!
