Yesterday I really wanted to stop at the store on my way home. Had this great idea to make garlic bread to go with our dinner. Then I thought of all these other things that could go with dinner. Then I thought....NO. Why would I do that? I have plenty of groceries at home. So I didn't stop. I went home. Completed my list of to-dos. Did yoga. And made dinner, including some homemade beer bread. Pretty proud of myself for not stopping and sticking with my plans.
Oh...and I worked on turning off the lights and using less water overall. I especially want to take advantage of not having to run the heater or the A/C right now.
Pretty proud of myself

Homemade Beer Bread
3 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 5" x 9" loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Add beer and mix until combined (Dough will be sticky). Place dough into loaf pan. Pour melted butter over top of loaf.
Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, or until top is golden brown and toothpick comes out clean from center.
Serve warm or cold.
*If desired, you can substitute a 12-ounce can of soda for the beer in this recipe.

And we are eating the rest of the bread tonight with the potato soup I'm making. Rainy day here in Texas...so its a good day for soup.

Chances are, this bread would have more calories than the entire dinner, and all of it is sugar, so you did not miss much.

I am baking beer bread right now. It sounded so good and we had ingredients on hand.
