Carbs carbs carbs.  I just can’t get enough.  Hand me nice big loaf of bread and I’m set for the day.

On this particular day I got lucky and when I grabbed my loaf of bread at the grocery store, it was STILL warm.  Ahhh.  Fresh bread.  There’s truly nothing better.

Garlic bread is one of my favorite things that I always forget about.  And when I remember how good it is, I have to make it that same day.  Sometimes that same hour.

You have to make sure you use fresh bread when making garlic bread.  If you don’t, you’ll notice the difference.  Trust me.

There’s nothing worse than getting all hyped up about garlic bread while you’re prepping it and then taking that first bite only to be greeted by disappointment.

The secret to this bread is keeping the bread intact on the bottom and opening the tin foil for the last 5 minutes in the oven.

I think my husband had one piece of the bread and then I gladly ate the rest.  It’s the carbs, I’m telling you.  My body needs carbs.
