This bread recipe is as easy as 1 -2 – 3… because it uses the powers of self-rising flour, a little sugar and a beer. I use a Shiner Premium Beer, from the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Fayette County, Texas. Continue reading
One of my cousins gifted me with a copy of her church cookbook titled “Saints and Sinners Cookbook” celebrating the 5oth anniversary of their Lutheran Church in La Grange, Texas. What a fun tribute to a collection of recipe favorites, old and new from their members.
La Grange is a collection of many points of interest…. from Czech and German immigration…to the infamous Chicken Ranch, an International Quilt Museum, and the half-way stop for the annual MS 150 bike race from Houston to Austin which helps race over $12 million .
You can walk around the town square and also get a collection of interesting foods…. from Kolaches and Pigs in a Blanket from Lukas Bakery; Prause’s daily slow smoked Barbeque, sliced your way, served until they run out (usually by 1:00pm); or an intimate little meal at The Bistro, which has great food, wine, and a Sunday Prime Rib.
This quiche recipe doesn’t really fall into any specific collected area of interest, it’s just an awesome little quiche that makes it’s own crust.
My sister Betty is great at finding fail-proof recipes, that usually travel well. Since Texas is a BIG state, her creations have traveled all over the state to relatives and friends houses for holidays, birthdays, and family reunions.
She’s baked this Banana Bread recipe for years, and gives all credit to a little cookbook published back in the early 60’s by the Mt Olive Lutheran Ladies Aid in Houston, Texas. I don’t know it that officially makes it a “Retro” Recipe, but it’s a keeper.
