Fine Southern Dish shares a neat writing about prayer. It would be a good time to write about it. Coffee, cake, and coffee cake. All good things. Coffee sparks my mind and gets me to think.



As you know, life can be a little stressful sometimes. When I get stressed about life situations or circumstances, and even about interactions with people, I try to lean towards prayer. I try to remember that people are at different stages in life. I never know what others are going through and they don't know what I am going through.



Whenever I am having a bad day or someone has been in a bad mood around me, I just pray. I pray for them and forgive them. It can be difficult. We are all just human and are prone to human weaknesses. I am not trying to be preachy here. I am just trying to share what works sometimes for me.



No matter what, this picture was worth sharing, and If you are sipping on a cup of coffee, it might make you think about it a little. Please share your thoughts with me on this.

My Thoughts On Coffee Cake:



I enjoy coffee cake with a black cup of coffee. What I like about coffee cake is the brown sugar crumble on top. The cinnamon adds a great flavor. When I have a cup of coffee with coffee cake it just makes the taste of the coffee cake better. The first coffee cake I tasted was a pre-packaged coffee cake. I prefer homemade coffee cake better. This recipe is a great homemade coffee cake that is better than store-bought. I hope you enjoy it.



More Information For You:



Coffee cake, a beloved breakfast and brunch treat, has a rich history.



  • European Origins: The concept of sweet bread enjoyed with coffee dates back to Europe, specifically Germany, where "Kaffee kuchen" was popular. The Scandinavians, known for their love of pastries, also contributed to the evolution of coffee cake.
  • American Adaptation: As European immigrants settled in the United States, they brought their baking traditions with them. Coffee cake quickly became a staple in American households.
  • The Rise of Convenience: The mid-20th century saw a surge in the popularity of coffee cake, thanks in part to the availability of pre-packaged cake mixes and the convenience of the dessert.

Chicken Alfredo



A friend shared some of her delicious chicken alfredo with me. It was very tasty! She said she made too much and wanted to share. That is always fine with me. She was worried the broccoli pieces in the dish were too big. I told her not to worry because I would eat it without any complaints. I like broccoli and didn't mind that there were large pieces.

My Thoughts On Baked Beans:



This recipe is made with pork and beans. When I was a kid, my sister loved pork and beans. We would spend time with my grandparents during the summer and my sister told my grandparents she loved pork and beans. I remember them laughing and they bought a whole case of pork and beans for her to enjoy when she wanted. What won't grandparents do for their grandchildren?



I like bacon in my baked beans. The bacon gives baked beans that smokey flavor that goes well with the sweetness of the brown sugar. When I think of baked beans, I think of family gatherings and the Fourth of July.



Extra Information For You:



Baked beans, a quintessential American comfort food, have a rich history.



  • Native American Origins: The concept of cooking dried beans in a pot likely originated with Native American cultures, who enjoyed beans as a staple food.
  • Puritan Influence: When European settlers arrived in North America, they adopted the practice of cooking beans from the Native Americans. The Puritans, in particular, found baked beans convenient as they could be prepared on Saturday and enjoyed on Sundays when cooking was prohibited.
  • The Role of Molasses: The addition of molasses to baked beans is often attributed to the New England colonists, who had access to this ingredient through the triangular trade.
  • Canned Convenience: The late 19th century brought about the mass production of canned baked beans, making this hearty dish accessible to a wider audience.



Today, baked beans remain a popular side dish, enjoyed in various regional styles and flavors. To learn more interesting facts and the history of baked beans, visit Love Food's article.

Have you seen this cooking hack? It is a great way to soften cold butter really fast without melting it. We use a lot of butter in my house.

By following these tips, you can achieve perfectly softened butter for your baking needs without the risk of melting.

My Thoughts On Cinnamon Rolls:



I enjoy the cinnamon sugar and icing flavor that cinnamon rolls bring. I know it's not the healthiest breakfast but I like to have a cinnamon roll with a hot cup of coffee for breakfast when I can. I visited a restaurant in the past that made giant cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls they make are the size of about four regular cinnamon rolls.

The sweet and sour taste is good to me.

Classic Beer Bread


>>>See all my recipes here!<<<



Beer Bread and Self-Rising Flour Easy Recipe - (Below)



Do you want to be a top-notch bread baker? Learn all of the tips and tricks that will impress anyone who you share your skills with. Here is a cookbook you might be interested in looking at.



Beer bread is a moist and flavorful quick bread that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering. It is made with a simple batter of flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, and beer, and it is often served with butter or honey.



What makes beer bread so popular?



There are several reasons why beer bread is so popular:

  • It is made with simple ingredients that are readily available.
  • It is relatively easy to make, even for novice bakers.
  • It has a unique and flavorful taste that is different from other quick breads.
  • It is a great way to use up leftover beer.



Tips for making beer bread



Here are a few tips for making your own beer bread:



  • Use a light-colored beer, such as wheat beer or pale ale, for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it.
  • Serve beer bread with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.

"If thou tastes a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens." - Robert Browning

Have you ever been on a low-carb diet? I have and I lost 50 pounds. I would cheat on my diet a little every once in a while as a reward but I mostly stayed away from sugar. It is a hard diet and not a diet that is sustainable.



I did incorporate exercise, which contributed a lot to my weight loss. I love bread like most people. I ate mostly salad and chicken. I would cook chicken in my Instapot and I made a great recipe for my chicken.



I put my frozen or thawed chicken in the pot then I intuitively added the following ingredients:



  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Italian dressing
  • Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
  • Italian seasoning



If thawed, I would cook it for an hour; if frozen, I cooked it for an hour and 1/2.



If you try this I would like to know what you think about my Instapot chicken recipe. You can adjust the amount of ingredients to your taste. 



Some Questions For You:



  • Do you like beer bread?
  • Have you baked bread before? If so, what kind of bread did you bake?
  • Did you read my recipe post from yesterday? It is called Peanut Butter Crumble Pie Easy No Bake Recipe. I would like to know what you think of it.

My Thoughts On Beer Bread:



I really enjoy beer bread. It has a great beer flavor without the alcohol. I like to put real butter on a slice of beer bread and sprinkle it with salt. If I use salted butter I don't use table salt. I think beer bread goes well with any main dish. It's an easy bread to make and the classic recipe will impress anyone who tastes it.



More Information For You:



A Brief History of Beer Bread



  • The Rise of Quick Breads: The popularity of quick breads emerged in the mid-19th century with the advent of baking powder and baking soda. These leavening agents eliminated the need for long fermentation times, making bread-making more accessible.
  • Beer as an Ingredient: The use of beer in bread likely began as a practical way to utilize leftover beer. The carbonation in the beer acts as a leavening agent, contributing to the bread's rise and texture.
  • American Popularity: Beer bread gained widespread popularity in the United States during the 20th century, becoming a beloved comfort food. Its simplicity and versatility contributed to its enduring appeal.



Beer bread is a relatively recent addition to the culinary landscape. While the art of bread-making dates back millennia, the specific combination of flour, sugar, and beer to create quick bread is a more modern invention.



While the exact origins of beer bread might be somewhat obscure, its connection to the history of quick bread and the availability of beer as an ingredient provides a plausible explanation for its creation.
