Easy Beer Bread

I was trying to figure out a quick bread to make to go with dinner.  I found a great beer bread recipe. So here it goes!

Preheat oven to 350...add small oven safe cup with water

Combine in large bowl
3 cups flour (I used a combo of 2 cups bread flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
stir in
1 cup shredded sharp cheese (you could also add onion, garlic, or other veggie if you want)
slowly add
1 12 oz bottle of beer  (I used Samuel Adams Blackberry beer)

Pour into greased loaf pan.
Let stand for 15-30 minutes before baking

Bake at 350 for 1 hour

After 30 minutes I melted butter with a little bit of chopped garlic...and poured over the top of the loaf.  DELICIOUS!

Dreamy Creamy Stuffin' Chicken! (crockpot)

It's a rainy day here in VA. The hubby is in DC working for the day.  It's a great day for a Slow Cooker meal.  It's a modified recipe...sooooooo there will be a grande finale follow up later!

Dreamy Creamy Stuffin' Chicken.

Grease the crock pot and put in 4  boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

In a medium bowl, mix 

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 small diced onion
1/2 cup diced carrot
and pour over chicken breasts.
(I sprinkled parmesan cheese over the top of it as well)


Once the bowl is empty, in the same bowl put in 1 package stuffing mix (I am using StoveTop's chicken stuffing) 
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Mix together and put over chicken and cream mixture.





Add another 1/4 cup water over mixture.


Bake for about 4 hours on low.
