Summer Recipe

You may remember this post from last year…

I made this mini to hold my summer recipes, and today I want to share with you what I recently added to it. It’s Jimmy’s Favorite Garlic Bread. This tasty tid-bit is based on a recipe from Guy Fieri. I modified it down as the garlic he originally had going with this garlic bread would have made for way too much for my kiddos. This bread is so yummy with anything you might be grilling.


So here ya go…enjoy!
