Who has time to bake?

Not this girl! A couple more years, I’ll retire, then maybe I’ll have time to cook more. Or maybe I’ll find better things to do and just eat out. Or cultivate a taste for Hungry Man TV dinners. Who knows?

But cousin Kathy & I were talking about bread the other day. And you can’t talk about bread without wanting to wallow in the yeasty smell of it baking, then eating it hot out of the oven slathered with butter. And it doesn’t make itself. (Like all those incorrect sentences beginning with conjunctions? My trademark!). BUT, I digress.

Anyway, I decided to make one of my favorite breads, that has the added benefit of being easy to make and quick to rise, Italian Parmesan Loaves.

We had these with chicken and homemade noodles, because sometimes you just can’t get enough white flour in your diet I guess. I’m not going to apologize. Look at these babies and tell me you don’t want one…or two!

Cards on the table, I'm NOT a chef. Most of the time, I don't really even like to cook. But, I ALWAYS love to eat!....and I've had a lifetime of great cooks in my family showing me what good food's supposed to taste like. People are always asking me for recipes, asking what I'm cooking, so here you go. What I cook is probably as bizarre as my kids think I am. Sometimes healthy, sometimes artery clogging. Sometimes gourmet, sometimes just a quick fix to fill an empty place. Sometimes secret Italian family recipes, sometimes quick dump and stir out of cans. That's the way I roll. Take what you please, leave the rest. It's not brain surgery.
