A Warm and Crusty Garlic Boule

A warm and crusty loaf of garlic bread is one of my favorite foods to eat. I believe that a really good loaf of bread doesn't necessarily need butter but could be enhanced by it. I also love lightly toasted bread with a bit of butter or just bread straight from the oven (I've burned myself more than a few times during the excitement of a loaf just out of the oven that smelled wonderful).

Apple Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches

We are getting into apple season and these Apple Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches are a perfect treat while it's still warm outside but you're ready for an autumn flavored dessert.

Meatless Monday! Vegetable Bibimbap

This beautiful bowl of vegetables and rice is definitely worth trying if you have never tried it before! The vibrant flavors of the mushrooms, carrots, and cucumber really come out in this dish and combine so well with the slightly runny egg yolk and brown rice. I think I love this meal and will make it often. The fresh scallions on the top really add to the "fresh" flavor of the dish that keeps you coming back for more!
