Leftover Beer Bread (Finally a use for that leftover beer)

Add all ingredients to your bread machine. if you have a french/italian bread setting use it, but pull it just before it hits the bake cycle.

Should have 3 good rises.

Sprinkle a pizza stone or pan with cornmeal

Slice dough into two pieces to make two loaves

Place on pizza stone/pan and cover; let rise 30 minutes

Meanwhile preheat your oven to 450 F

Nuke about 2 cups of water to almost boiling in a pyrex measuring cup

Pour nuked water into a small shallow pan and place in bottom of your oven (watch out for steam)

Make a few side slashes on the top of loaves and if desired coat with an egg wash (optional) Bake loaves on pizza stone/pan. check after 35 minutes; internal temp of loaves should reach 199 to 200 degrees F before pulling and cooling on rack

2 small loafs210(This also makes a good pizza dough; use pizza dough/dough setting on your bread machine)1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups leftover beer from hubby's leftover cans/bottles (I save in a container in frig)3 cups bread flour1 cup whole wheat flour1 T salt1 t sugar4 t dry granulated yeast1 T olive oil

Summer Salad !

When noodles are done rinse and drain real good with cold water,
When you have everything cut and diced add in with noodles in a big bowl and mix well,
Add your Garlic, Maybe even a little pepper with it.
Add your Bacon bits and yellow cheese and Itallian dressing and mix well together.

When mixing is done top off with Parmasian cheese( as a layer for topping)..sprinkle a little bit more bacon bits to give some colour on top and leave( mix no more).

Set in frig to cool for a hour or 2 ( or to what you feel is cool enough, I usually make it 2 hours before serving so its nice and cold).

And there you have your Summer Salad!My Mother7 to 10 People30This meal can be cooked and done in 20 to 30 minutes and ready for frig!1Box of bow tie noodles1 green pepper cut in pieces to mix 1 onion cut in pieces to mixbacon bits( I like to use the bacon bits that have the multi mixture like poppy seeds an such)1 can of Black Olives cut in halfs1 cucumber diced in pieces to mix1 bag of graded cheese( yellow) to sprinkle and mix1 little basket of red cherry tomatos, cut in halfs as many as you like.Garlic powder( just sprinkle in moderation )1 jar of Parmasian cheese to laye on top of salad when all mixing is done1 jar of Itallian dressing ( you will almost use this whole jar..depends on how much you like).

CRANBERRY SALAD

Take fresh cranberries and crush them with a food processor. Add the sugar, walnuts, apples and crushed pineapple. It's important to let the pineapple drain for a while to remove as much of the liquid as possible. If not, it will make your salad soggy. Whip the whipping cream according to instructions on label. Add whipping cream last and stir thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate overnight.30This salad is really good. My kids love it and I have to make a double batch and freeze some. 1 Lb cranberries 2 c. sugar2 Lg apples (jonathon or any tart apple)1 small can crushed pineapple (drained well)1 c. walnuts (coarsely chopped)1 pint whipping cream
