Tessa’s Recipe Rundown
Taste: So much more flavorful than store-bought garlic bread. You’ll never want to buy garlic bread again. Texture: The crust of the bread is crunchy while the inside is soft, fluffy, and buttery. Ease: Nothing difficult here at all. Appearance: I love the contrast of the green herbs against the bread. Pros: Easy and scrumptious. Cons: None, really. As long as you can limit yourself to one piece. Which is nearly impossible. Would I make this again? Yes.This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
Have you missed me? It’s been longer than usual since my last post. I’M SORRY! I have been swamped. Why I decided to take two (accelerated) summer classes while working a job, writing a blog, and writing a cookbook is beyond me. Dumb idea. But at least I’ll graduate with my Bachelor’s early.
I’ve also been totally distracted by our puppy, Chewie, who demands constant attention and just got neutered two days ago. When we picked him up at the vet’s office I thought I had never seen sadder puppy eyes. Also, my boyfriend recently came home after being away for two and a half months straight. Needless to say, I have enough distractions in my life at the moment. I’m thankful that most of them are good distractions. Luckily I have a bunch of recipes for posts that I’ve made and photographed, I just need to squeeze in the time to edit the photos and write those dang posts already.
By the way, happy summer! Here in Arizona it’s already felt like summer for months. 111°F as a high temperature is always fun…
