Well, I stayed home today because I didn't want to get stranded north of the river or chance sliding off the hilly curvy roads I have to drive. Ice was coming down this morning, so I called in and asked to use a vacation day.
I used the day to try to get my head cleared. I've been suffering from sinus congestion. So I took a cough suppressant and decongestant that put me to sleep for a few hours. I woke up after 12:30 this afternoon, not completely cleared but able to breath better.
I used the time I was awake to work on the log cabin quilt and bake a loaf of sweet bread.
I used what I had on hand and call it Cinnamon Pecan Bread.
Here's how I made it.
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
6 tablespoons melted butter
Milk (I eyeballed the milk... I think 1/2 cup)
1/2 - 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix ingredients well in order given. Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until it tests clean with a toothpick.
It is very good. Between my husband and my kids the loaf is already half gone.
I need to take more of the decongestant and I think I will take something for aches. I'm starting to feel achy. Ugh!
I hope you are staying safe and warm.
Until next time...
Hugs,
Sonia
PS... so tired of cold, ice and snow - anticipating Spring.
