Chimichurri Bread {Braided Wreath Bread & Bread Rolls}
I’ve been in love with chimichurri sauce ever since I discovered it a while ago. Tangy and fresh, with a hint of spice, I love it as a dip, slathered on toasts and sandwiches, tacos, grilled meat, or anything really! A little voice in my head kept saying that it would be amazing stuffed into…
Spicy Shrimp Pasta In Creamy Tomato Sauce

Red Wine-Braised Chicken And Mushrooms {Almost Coq Au Vin}

Tomato, Parsley & Cottage Cheese Focaccia
There’s nothing like a challenge to get you going. Angie (The Novice Gardener), who already hosts the lovely Fiesta Friday link party, is throwing a monthly cooking challenge. The first one is to cook/bake something with both yeast and herbs. The obvious choice is some kind of bread, though I am very excited to see…
