Quick and easy dinner- Erin Style

We have some friends who are very dear to us. Friends so dear, that when we have dinner with them, 9 times out of 10 Ms. Erin will make beer bread just because she knows
Mr. Dunbar loves it.
Adores it.
Devours it.
Beer bread is good stuff.
And Ms. Erin will spend hours making it from scratch for the Dunbar's.

The other day while in Trader Joe's I saw the box for Beer Bread. Huh? And the box said all I would have to do was add beer. Now a quick and easy bread mix like this, I can handle. So I bought it along with another good thing Simple Times Lager. At $2.99 a six pack, it's a steal.)

Another part of dinner I picked up over the years from Ms. Erin is Bear Creek Cheddar Broccoli soup mix. (Not from TJ's.) I threw in some broccoli florets and frozen shredded chicken (that I had from a rotisserie Costco chicken two weeks ago.)

Twenty minutes later I had a hearty warm dinner on the table. I had to make Beer Bread biscuits because the loaf was going to take about an hour. Biscuits only took 18- 22 minutes.

Yummy!

And we'll be having beer bread biscuits with butter and jam in the morning.

Yeah!!!! I am remembered for something!!! ;) Okay, so I must confess, making beer bread, is not that hard, if you have the ingredients.....Also, the cheaper the beer, the better the rise, I don't know why exactly, but that is the truth. As for the soup, guess what we are having for dinner? YEP you guessed it. ;) Smooches and thanks for the shout out!
