I love to bake!!  I love it!  I love to bake bread.  I probably should just leave it up to James.  He does make the most incredible stuff around, but I love making it at home.  There is no better smell than bread in the oven.  James loves it when I bake, and so do my kids.  The red-head could eat a whole loaf of Banana Bread or Zuchinni Bread in one sitting, and the oldest loves a hot loaf of White Bread right after school.  I have a lot of people ask me if James loves to cook at home.  Answer………..are you kidding?  Not a chance.  He told me once he can make 100 loaves in a batch, but not 2.  And he doesn’t cook either.  But I don’t mind.  He’s perfect otherwise!

Last week one of our cute employees brought in a bag of some Focaccia she had made at home the night before for dinner.  It was so tasty!!  I had to replicate it.  Had to!  Sunday dinners at our home are usually something big and roast-ish, but with Christmas this weekend I figured we’d be eating a lot of meat and potatoes so I made two loaves of Focaccia and turned them into Panini sandwiches.  It was lovely.  It was easy too.  Focaccia is a great alternative to breadsticks or garlic bread.  It’s great for sandwiches too.  I’m now trying to talk James into making it at the bakery.  I feel a new sandwich in the making!!
