I don't like dishes that are strongly-flavored with fennel - we once made a slow-cooked pulled-pork recipe that was ruined for me by the fennel seed flavoring. So it surprised me that I really do like fennel root itself, when it's roasted with other vegetables. The picture above is of Ina Garten's Roasted Winter Vegetables; after we made it the first time, we did it again using carrots, parsnips, potatoes and - Fennel! We really liked it, a very warming Autumn-Winter side dish. Here is the original recipe, and you can switch out veggies as you like:

As an aside, Fennel is a very interesting vegetable, with some notable health properties:

I've been trying to find a beer bread recipe that I like. I have an 'ideal' of beer bread in my mind, but I haven't found a recipe that really lives up to it. The ones I've found have been very nice, but not exactly the savory, crispy-outside, chewy inside that the name suggests to me. Perhaps I'm wanting a yeast-raised bread with Beer; but I haven't run across a recipe like that.
At any rate, I tried this quick beer bread last night, and it was very good, if not the one I'm looking for. It has a very nice texture, and I'd bet it would be great toasted, or 'grilled' with cheese:

Bring to boil.
I hope you were able to find an interesting Beer Bread recipe at King Arthur. There is a web site called “mybestgermanrecipes.com”... they also have Beer Bread recipes. They believe German Beer Bread is best made with Hofbrau beer... interesting!
Have you, or would you consider doing a Low Carb week? If you've already done one, maybe I can search archives.
Have a wonderful evening...
I’ll be happy to do a low-carb week. We’ve posted many recipes over the past couple of years. Watch this space!
