Hi Linda,

Just saw this recipe and I agree. It looks great. It's supposed to be rainy and yucky this weekend. I think I'll try it with soup for a comfort food meal. Thanks for posting

Thanks Linda! I make a really good beer bread with just beer, self-rising flour and butter, but this looks wonderful!

HI. I just baked beer bread (my first) I don't have the recipe near the computer but it was butter, sugar, self rising flour & beer. I added herbs & the kitchen smells wonderfully! Since the oven was on I also baked the banana coconut crumb cake (same temperature) Thanks for the recipe I will try it next time.

Linda in MO -- How do you get the Junior League recipes via E-mail? And thanks for posting this recipe. I own the cookbook it is from, but this prompts me to make it this weekend.
