Herbed Garlic Bread

Sometimes we are looking for a quick and easy recipe. Herbed Garlic Bread from the Food Network Magazine promised to be just that. For once we didn’t need to make the bread! Little Chef D and H went shopping with me today to get a loaf of French Bread. After school Little Chef C melted the butter in a saucepan with olive oil and salt.

After a few minutes the chopped parsley was added.

The recipe says to pour some of the butter mixture in between each slice. We tried that with a couple slices but decided we wanted the entire slice buttered. We quickly decided to change to a brush. This worked so much better. A simple task a Little Chef could do with little or no help.

The bread came out smelling great. It tasted even better. We really enjoyed this recipe. This was easy enough to prepare. We will try this one again!
