A Cozy Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe

It doesn't get much better then a warm slice of cheesy garlic bread straight from the oven!

This recipe is so easy to make and doubles as a crowd pleasing appetizer or cozy side dish. Perfect for dipping in marinara sauce or serving alongside all your favorite pastas and soups.

It uses a combo of garlic and olive oil for both flavor and so the bread doesn't get bogged down being heavy and overly greasy with a what is traditionally a full stick of butter.

It's also a versatile recipe where you can use fresh or dried garlic, various breads and different types of cheese.

My personal favorite is just as listed, with fresh garlic and the combo of two cheeses. Simple Italian flavor in every bite!

It's amazing that something made up so few of the most basic ingredients, that's so reasonably easy to make can create something so supremely delicious!

These dinner rolls have the best melt-in-your-mouth texture with a light chew, a rich buttery flavor and just a faint hint of background sweetness. They're the perfect side to homemade Vegetable Soup or Minestrone Soup!

These easy dinner rolls are the ultimate upgrade to a cozy, comforting meal especially when slathered with a fair layer of creamy whipped butter or homemade freezer jam.

What are Johnny Cakes?

Johnny cakes (hoecakes) are soft and tender cornmeal flatbread or hot cake made from a quick batter that's cooked in a skillet on the stovetop.

They are made with finely ground cornmeal and often flour, then mixed with a liquid such as buttermilk, milk or water. A fat such as oil, bacon drippings, lard or butter are also included to keep them rich and moist. And eggs are included to bind ingredients.

They were an early American, inexpensive staple food and they are popular in regions from Canada, the Unites States and down to Jamaica and other islands coming in many different variations.

To give you comparisons to foods you may likely be familiar with, they are like a cross between pancakes and cornbread. In other words they are the perfect homestyle comfort food and are absolutely delicious!

Chinese Pepper Steak

Quick stir-fries - like this beefy, extra saucy Pepper Steak are a weeknight dinner staple. A great option for dinner success when not much time is available after a long day but you're still craving a flavorful homemade dish.

Here the process is simple. We blend a few ingredients to create a savory sauce, quick sear the steak and then the veggies, toss everything in that sauce and you've got dinner in a flash.

As with any recipe, the first time may be a little slower, but once you get this process down it's a breeze.

This is a delicious, ultra-satisfying dish everyone will be excited about! And you didn't have to spend hours in the kitchen preparing it.

Serve it with brown rice or white rice to finish it off. And for a simple time saving tip - cook a big batch of rice over the weekend and keep it stashed in the freezer in portions to save the hassle when you need it on busy days.

What is Naan?

Naan is flat-like, yeast leavened, oven baked bread. It originates from Iran and Central Asia. It's a very popular bread in India, where you'll usually find a slightly thicker variation.

Naan can be leavened or un-leavened, the Indian versions are usually leavened. It's common to use torn pieces of naan for scooping and eating food by hand.

Traditionally Indian Naan is cooked in a tandoor oven but not many of us own one of those. So here we make it without a tandoor oven and use a heavy cast iron skillet instead to get a very similar result.

I've tried making naan several different ways using different ingredients like water, buttermilk, milk, or yogurt. I've also tried with and without egg, or with just egg yolk. Then using different fats.

Of course there's also the option to use different types of flour (bread flour, all-purpose flour, or even wheat flour). Then you'll notice some recipes include baking powder.

You’ll also find a variety of mixing methods and dough consistencies.

This recipe is my favorite blend of ingredients for it, with the ratios and method to achieve a super soft, lightly chewy, perfectly fluffy and bubbly naan. It's my idea of the best Naan!

Homemade Dinner Rolls

These are my family's absolute favorite dinner rolls! I've been using this recipe for so many years and I lost count long ago of how many times I've made them.

They are a regular recipe in our rotation, especially for holidays and celebrations. After just one bite you'll see why.

You'll quickly find they are the perfect side to just about any meal and they truly are one of the ultimate comfort foods. Just classic, old-fashioned, homestyle deliciousness. Just like grandma made and using the utmost basic ingredients.

I've yet to meet someone who doesn't love these tempting rolls, and I can practically guarantee they'll become a favorite in your home too!

The stand mixer does most of the work here. If you are new to making rolls, just make these a few times and they'll be super easy-breezy from then on out.

Just be warned these things are completely addictive! Leftovers (if you are lucky enough to have any) are delicious with plain old mayo, mustard, and leftover Thanksgiving turkey (or deli turkey) for lunch the next day.

Happy Holidays everyone!
