Cheddar Chive Beer Bread Recipe

This is one of my favorite 'quick' recipes and is so yummy with all the soups and hearty foods this time of year.  I use fresh chives when in season and use chives I've frozen when I bake this bread all winter long.
Make sure you make a sandwich or two with this beer bread.
 I love this bread with chicken, tuna, or 
ham salad too.
Or just spread the warm bread with even more butter.....
.......is your mouth watering yet?

Hopscotch Dandelions Blog Giveaway Winner........

..........is MOI! 

 The generous giveaway by Amanda Richardson on her blog Hipscotch Dandelions is for a $35 gift certificate to CSN Stores.  I've been browsing for days and finally decided on garment racks to organize my clothes. 
 Our home is 'closet challenged' being built in 1900 so I have no closet for my fashions.  I have stuff stuck here and there and even under the bed so I am anxious for some serious organizing. 
 THANKS, 
From one AMANDA to another!
