How-To Tuesday: The Secret to Baking Homemade Bread

Avoiding carbohydrates is very difficult for me. Its true that when I do, I feel better, have more energy and lose some inches from my waistline. But, bread is my kryptonite. I love it. Dunked in olive oil, slathered with mayo and made into a sandwich, or even toasted with some butter, bread is my best friend.

I will admit; I don’t eat bread often because I consider it a treat. But, when I do, it has to be the good stuff. If I am going to have carb guilt, it better be worth it. So, when I’m inclined, I bake bread. Yup, it’s easy, fast and will be worth every last bite. If you bake it once, I promise, you’ll bake it again.

Social Saturday: Anna's Heirloom Bruschetta

I’m a big fan of Tapas because you get to try a whole bunch of items without having to commit to one dish. When I am entertaining, aside from some salted nuts, a great cheese plate and veggies with dip, I always serve bruschetta. Traditionally, tomatoes and garlic are used but if you like, get creative and other toppings like ricotta and honey or brie and apple. With a delicious piece of butter bread as your base, it’s hard to mess things up.
