Fall is the time to appreciate the warm and toasty side of life, and there is no better way to stay warm and toasty than with a brand-new bread recipe. Bread is easy and fun to make, and wonderful to share with friends. To save money and a trip to the grocery store, here is a recipe for a delicious, thick-crusted bread that is just made with two ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

1 . 2 2/3 cups of self-rising flour 2 . 12-ounce can of beer, freshly opened

INSTRUCTIONS

1 . Preheat the oven to 375 f.

Combine the flour and beer in a mixing bowl until the flour is moist (tip: sifting the flour into the mixture will give the bread a fluffier texture and a better rise).

Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top is slightly brown.

Once the bread has finished baking, let it cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Enjoy breaking bread with a loved one.

Fall is here. It is the time when the sound of leaves being crunched by boots fills the air. Sweaters embrace wearers in a knitted hug. It is the season for scary movies and apple cider; the time for reading books and bingeing entire shows in under a week. More than anything, autumn brings us an undeniable craving for one thing: pumpkin spice lattes. Let’s be honest: purchasing a pumpkin spice latte as a pick-me-up can get a little expensive. That is why understanding how to make one at home can be a lifesaver. To save money and customize taste, try this recipe before wrapping up in a blanket and indulging in a steamy, hot latte.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee or espresso 2 c. milk of choice 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree 1 tbsp. brown sugar or 1 tbsp. maple syrup 1/4 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice 1/4 tbsp. vanilla extract Whipped cream (optional) Cinnamon sugar (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS 1. To start, heat the milk, pumpkin puree, sweetener of choice, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract together on the stove.

2. After the mixture heats to the desired temperature, whisk or froth until foamy.

3. Add coffee or espresso and mix.

4. Add whipped cream and cinnamon sugar if desired.

This process takes about the same amount of time, or less, as going to a coffee shop and purchasing a latte. Adjust this recipe to one’s individualized taste, and in no time, you will be saving money while enjoying the fall aroma.
