Weekend Update

With Sunday night coming to a close and Monday morning dread on the way
here is my weekend update:

Baking with Beer:
I have been craving beer bread and cheese soup for months now. I finally found some recipes that I liked, so I decided to go for it. I have never baked with beer before, I've used some wine for sauces but this was uncharted territory.

Here is the bread out of the oven. I must say it was pretty delecious. I had never used self-rising flour before. It is heaven made. I had the loaf of bread done from start to finish in less than an hour.

Here is the beer and cheese soup. It tasted like a broccoli cheese soup - but better.
It was delicious!


Projects:
As everyone knows, I know a million people who are pregnant right now. If you are one of them, then stop reading now.

Katie, I mean YOU! Stop reading or you'll spoil one of your baby gifts.

Okay, I guess you don't like surprises.

Its a baby bug bib. Haha. I am in love with it. 
Luckily it was easy enough I won't feel bad when the baby spits up all over it. 

And now I'm sitting here - folding laundry and watching Snapped. I love Sundays!

    (Note for the bread recipe - next time I don't think I'll add the onion powder and italian seasoning. It was good, but I'm looking for more of multipurpose recipe)

    I did make it, but I cheated and used a pattern. They are SO easy.

  4. How adorable!!! :) And the food looks wonderful. I will be so glad when I have a stove/oven again and can actually cook. Hopefully, that will happen by the end of the month. I concur with the Monday Morning Dread. I am suffering with it myself. Love you guys!
