You know it's true love when........





I really lucked out in the husband department. No seriously, I REALLY did. Jeff does so many things for me to show me he loves me. And he takes SUCH great care of our little family. One of those things is working over-night at Wal-Mart while going to school. Many times I'll wake up when he comes home and he'll say, "I got you some prizes last night." He may have gotten that term from my family who LOVES to get prizes fore each other!!!


Anyway, this morning I woke to my flour and sugar jar re-filled with extras to spare. It may seem like a little thing but to a baker who ran out while baking bread sticks last night (major disaster)......It was such a huge thing. It's just one of the MANY thoughtful things my sweet husband does all the time for me. I love him SO much. And I'm so grateful he wasn't 18, like I originally thought he was, because I can handle being 5 and a half years older.....but not 14!

The most delicious bread you'll ever eat!!!




I was recently on the website: http://www.ourbestbites.com/, (which by the way I am obsessed with) when I saw this recipe for cheesy garlic bread. I KNEW I had to try it. After the first bite I was in LOVE. I had to freeze half of it so I didn't inhale all of it the first night. Don't judge me if I pulled the second half out of the freezer a couple days later and ate it......Anyone reading this HAS TO MAKE IT!!!!!!




Ingredients:


1 round loaf of sourdough bread


8 oz of mozzarella cheese-grated


1/2 cup of olive oil


3-4 cloves of crushed garlic-I think I added 5 but I'm obsessed with garlic!(Put the garlic in the olive oil and let sit for at least an hour. The longer it sits the better it tastes, trust me!)


1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese




Instructions:


Preheat your oven to 350


Line a baking sheet with tinfoil


Slice the bread in 1 and 1/2 inch slices being careful not to go all the way through the bread. Rotate it 90 degrees and make the same 1 and 1/2 inch slices. Then with a pastry brush, brush on the olive oil mix inside all the cracks. Be careful not to tear the bread. Then stuff the bread with the mozzarella cheese. Again be careful not to tear the bread. Then sprinkle the Parmesan on top. For the last step I like to dab on a little bit more of the olive oil on top! Pop it in the oven and bake it about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is all bubbly and the bread is kind of toasty brown. The bread kind of opens up like an awesome blossom at Outback! I liked to dip the bread in the leftover olive oil. Simply delicious!!!!




Just typing this up makes me want to make it again!!!!
