After months of not being able to find yeast, I finally found a couple packets and snagged them. Baking fresh bread is super relaxing for me and I so needed to make a loaf. I’ve been stressed about making a decision for what my kids would do when they returned to school and needed to take some frustration out on bread. There’s nothing like a good bread kneading 🙂

I picked up a few jalapenos at the farm stand and had planned to make salsa, but my tomatoes were water logged and splitting. I haven’t had much luck with my garden this year. Anyway, I decided to make a loaf of jalapeno cheese swirl bread. This braided bread is packed full of pieces of jalapenos and cheddar cheese. It’s delicious warm and enjoyed with a cup of chili.
