EASY AND QUICK GARLIC CHEESE BREAD
What do you do when you have leftover bread that’s been sitting in your cupboard for some time and your husband just brought home a “deal” on bread, leaving you with an abundance of delicious carbs?
YOU MAKE GARLIC CHEESE BREAD, of course!
I remember making these with my dad when I was younger. They are the perfect, easy and cheap option when you don’t want to buy pre-made, boxed garlic bread and want to have something to scoop up that meaty spaghetti sauce with! I grew up with parents who lived paycheck to paycheck, so it was essential to cut corners and get creative where you could. Which is the main reason we made our own garlic bread; it was bread we already had on hand that didn’t require spending any extra money for the pre-made kind, therefore saving us a few dollars to put towards something a bit more important.
It was either homemade garlic cheese bread or cinnamon sugar bread. Anyone else make that as a kid?? You toast a slice of bread, butter it, and then sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top! SO GOOD! I have such fond memories of my dad making that for my brother and me as kids for movie nights.
If you haven’t try it – give it a go!
