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!

BM..........it's not what you think

When it comes to blogging lately the motivation just has not been there so

I've diagnosed myself as having BM......... a Blog Mood.

 I've had  it before too so I know it's a real thing.

Some bloggers seem to know when they are going to get it as they kindly announce they are taking a blogging break. Not me.....I just stop cold-turkey and leave new-found blogging friends out in the cold.

I apologize for that.

I can feel my mojo coming back; slowly and surely.

I do love to visit y'all too and am slowly getting caught up with the

1000's of posts Google Reader has been saving for me.
