Super Bowl Recipe - Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread Footballs. If I were to ask all the football loving fans in my family what their favorite foods happen to be and what they most want in a Super Bowl snack, bacon and cheese would top the list.

Super Bowl Recipe - Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread Footballs

The combination of salty fried pork and creamy sharp cheese appeals to the masses, well, at least to everyone I know. I'm pretty sure these Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread Footballs will be a huge hit at any Superbowl party. They would go great with a bowl of chili, but are prefect little snacks just on their own. Each beer infused, football shaped bread loaf is loaded with gooey cheese and has a crispy, crunchy, bacon crust.

Yes, I said bacon crust. Have you ever had bread with a bacon crust before? The bacon not only adds texture and a rich meaty flavor to the bread, it also gives each football the deep brown color I wanted. I mixed, sprinkled, scooped, baked, and ate these loaves in less than 30 minutes. Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread Footballs (makes 12) recipe adapted from Robin Miller. DIY Peace Cake. What’s bet­ter than a slice of cake?

DIY Peace Cake

A slice of cake with a sur­prise baked inside! This tie-dye cake is a cinch to make and can be cus­tomized with any shape. For the past cou­ple of years, I’ve been exper­i­ment­ing with desserts that have hid­den sur­prises. I’ve tried a num­ber of dif­fer­ent ways to bake shapes inside of cakes, and this one has deliv­ered the best results by far. (For­tu­nately, my fam­ily enjoys eat­ing all of my failed attempts.) At first glance, this Peace Cake might not seem like a “piece of cake” to cre­ate. What You Need For a 6-inch by 8-inch cake, I used: Step 1 Spray pans with non­stick bak­ing spray and dust with flour. Step 2 Mix one box of pound cake mix with 2/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup but­ter, and 2 eggs. Step 3 Cut off the bot­tom tips and begin swirling the bat­ter into the pans, alter­nat­ing col­ors often. Step 4 Bake 35 to 40 min­utes. Step 5 Spray pans with non­stick bak­ing spray and dust with flour.

Super Bowl Recipe - Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread Footballs. Jar of Happiness for my Birthday. Tuesday is my thirty-something birthday and I wanted to make something fun for myself.

Jar of Happiness for my Birthday

A little happiness in a jar for my happy day please! These are great because I know that in no way during the week could I make a cake for myself. I can just put the lid on these beauties and store in the fridge until my day. (okay so we all ate one tonight but there is still 4 left...) I have seen these fun little cupcakes baked right in the jar over at Babble and had to give it a try myself. I did make mine a little different and wanted to share with you all what worked for me. 1)Mix a white cake mix as directed.
