***Garlic Bread***

(recipe found here)

1 loaf of crusty French bread
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 large cloves of garlic, smashed and minced
1 heaping Tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, or dried (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl. Make 1-inch thick slices into the bread, but do not go all the way through, just to the bottom crust. Put a teaspoon or two of the butter mixture between each slice. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and heat for 15 minutes in the oven.
