We are big coffee drinkers in our house. If there is one thing that we run out of regularly, it's coffee. So even though I hadn't planned on making a trip to Publix this week, I changed my mind when I found out that coffee was the penny item. Even my husband decided to make a trip on the way home! Of course he had no coupons and needed to get his total to ten dollars to get the penny item so I told him to pick up a couple of Green Advantage Flyers and get some Aleve which was basically free with just the store coupon. The exact Aleve was not available so he improvised - great husband! He was running out of his stash of Advil so he was quite happy to restock.
This is what it looks like outside today here in middle Tennessee. Schools were called off yesterday just on the prediction of snow. Yes, I can hear you Northerners laughing! See the big issue in the South is that we rarely get a good snow so no one knows how to drive in it (except for my husband who is from Michigan and even he stays off the roads). It's the inexperienced snow drivers that make it so dangerous. Anyway, in between working from home on my laptop, I made a new recipe with the kids. It's called Stove Pipe Bread and is delicious!
Combine 1-1/2 cup flour and yeast in a bowl. Combine next 5 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until just warm, about 120°F. Stir into dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with an electric mixer. Add eggs and continue to beat until mixture is smooth. Add 1 cup flour and mix well. Use a wooden spoon to stir in remaining flour.
Divide batter into 2 oiled 1 lb coffee cans. Cover with plastic lids and set aside in a warm area to rise about 1 hour. When dough has risen almost to the top of cans, remove lids. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake 30-35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from can.

This coupon is good for 20% off your entire purchase this week. I really love it when they have this coupon which comes out a few times a year. In the past, I have used it primarily on can goods and furniture. We bought two Ashley couches there a couple of years ago. Big Lots also has a pretty good toy selection so if you are shopping for kid birthdays, you may want to check them out.
