It’s National Bratwurst Day today! Krusteaz sent me a box of their Beer Bread Mix…since beer and bratwurst go hand in hand. And I fully was going to make beer bread, until I looked at the apples on my counter. I have been in a please hurry up fall so that I can bake all things apple and pumpkin mood and it snuck into this bread. I decided I would use hard cider instead of beer…I also added cheese, apples, and bacon.
If you are interested in winning a box of Krusteaz Beer Bread along with some coupons just leave a comment telling me your favorite quick bread. You have to be a US citizen and comment by Tuesday August 19th, 2014 at 5pm PST.
If we ignore the dreadful photo of me and concentrate on the sweet photo of my pup you can see she is more than happy to be snuggling again. And kissing MDP again.
My buddy Cakespy had a sale at her Esty shop that for $5 and the cost of a flat rate box she would shove cards, pins, randoms into that box. And boy did she…I have cards for every occasion for the next 10 years. And they are all her artwork so they are extra cool!
I also had to break down and buy Sharpies even though I’m not teaching anymore. It’s an addiction.

This bread looks amazing! And I’m so happy CCS is better!!
I think my favorite quick bread would have to be beer bread. So tasty! I had never had beer bread until my MIL gave me her recipe and I love it!

And to think I just threw together a loaf of beer bread, but now I want this instead. It feels almost shameful to admit I’ve never tried the combination of cheese with apples. Maybe this is a sign!
I also suffer from a Sharpie addiction, albeit not nearly as bad as my post-it addiction (but I don’t think anything will ever quite compare to that one). I’ve got a cupful of assorted primary colors, rainbow colors, and metallic just over on my craft desk. Somehow, I still want the one in the picture anyway! 😀

I love using the Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake mix for either muffins or cake – it’s so easy to add your own ingredients to this mix.
