Here is a little bit of a “twist” (geddit? 🙂 ) on Garlic Bread: a Cheddar-Herb Tart Soleil. Easy-peasy to make, looks impressive and oh so delicious to eat. Definitely will become part of the “repeat performance” bit whenever I need biscuits or garlic bread to accompany a meal.

And here is something different: have you ever tried *sweet* Focaccia? Normally it’s savory, with rosemary or garlic or olives or just as a rustic accompaniment to Italian food, but I decided to make some with honey, oranges and hazelnuts. Wow! Simply phenomenal. I could see this along side a salad for brunch or even as a breakfast bread. It’s bursting with flavor, light, sweet and delicious. And it was another excuse to experiment with my sourdough.
These are addictive. Very addictive.
In my weekly adventures in Wondoughland, my sourdough starter this week produced these absolutely fantastic bread sticks, aka Grissini. I can’t stop eating them. Wrap them in prosciutto, add them to a charcuterie platter, use them as a crouton with soup or salad, or just dip them in some ranch dressing, they are crazy yummy no matter how you snack on them. I made 6 varieties, sesame seed, nigella seed, poppy seed, herbs de provence, pretzel salt and plain. These may become a staple at my place!
Quick and easy lunch — and low carb, keto-friendly — of Caesar Tomato Tuna Melts. Just not terribly easy to photograph, but they tasted yummy. I could have served them with lettuce as more of a sandwich, but all out of lettuce. I used provolone as the cheese but cheddar or swiss would go nicely as well. Pantry/fridge friendly ingredients too.

Rosemary Olive and Honey Sourdough Focaccia
The issue with baking artisan sourdough bread is that it is delicious. And addictive. And frankly, I could eat this entire loaf of focaccia, if I didn’t have any self-control. It is *that* good. Salty and briny from the olives, sweet from the honey. Hearty. Stop me, before I just gobble this all up. Great as a bread side to dinner, with garlic olive oil as a started or a snack. Sneak a piece when no one is looking. It’s seriously delicious.
