Chebe Bread

While back home in Cleveland for the holidays, I came across a new bread mix at the local grocery store.  Chebe, the original Cheese Bread Mix was brought to the US in 1999 from Brazil.

The mix is quick and easy to prepare by combining with oil, shredded cheese, eggs and water.

I took my first bite of a roll pipin' hot from the oven and it was delicious (if you've taken my advice and eaten at Cassava in Chicago, you'll be happy to know the bread is very similar to their rolls.)

The outside of the bread serves as a crust, with the inside cheesy and moist.  My dad even said (and I quote), "These are pretty yummy, you've turned me into a gluten free believer." 

If you don't take my word for it, take my dad's word for it and pick up a package of Chebe next time you hit up the grocery.

Good Mornin' Muffins

Saturday morning I decided to bake up some Seriously Gourmet Muffins courtesy of Serious Gourmet.

The recipe calls for one package of Muffin Mix combined with 2 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 2/3 cup half & half and 2/3 teaspoon vanilla.  And because the mix doesn't come flavored, I threw in a few dashes of cinnamon and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.

After 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven breakfast was served.

The muffins were light, airy, fluffy and a great compliment to my coffee.  I suggest eating while still warm with a slathering of Brummel & Brown butter.

Store leftover muffins in the freezer to keep em' fresh.

I feel like a real blogger now

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited.  Serious Gourmet is sending me samples of their gluten free muffin mix so that I can bake up a batch and write up a review.

If only the package would arrive this morning since I have nothing to eat for breakfast, desperately need to hit up the grocery store, and have zero motivation to step outside into the frozen winter tundra.
