Cheddar and Chive Guinness Bread. I've made this a dozen times, and everyone loves it. I only ever get one piece.
bread porn!!! I've made the buttermilk quick breads, they were wonderful especially lemon cranberry
These will not be on my Thanksgiving table (I was a "no" vote), but you can bet your bottom dollar this is being bookmarked for later. There are many wonderful sounding things here that WILL be on my table when it's not groaning under the weight of the Thanksgiving meal. Thanks for gathering these all together!
Butter dips are an (unhealthy!) family tradition! (not at Thanksgiving - we always ate them paired with cold summer salads like a tuna/pasta salad - YUM). Glad to see them get some press!
Mrs. Baird's pull-apart dinner rolls. Honestly. It's a Texas tradition. Then use the cold rolls for tiny little turkey and cranberry jelly sandwiches. That's a tradition, too :)
Bread porn - ha ha! : )
Wait a sec, no cranberry bread?
