Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread - Rhodes Guest Post

It's my turn to to Guest Post over at Rhodes Bake-N-Serve Blog.  I've been seeing a lot of these pull apart breads online.  Most of them are sweet cinnamon breads.  I decided to try my hand at a savory pull apart bread.  I decided on a Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread.  I picked up a packet of the new Hidden Valley Italian dressing mix and used it for the seasoning in this garlic bread.  It was really good.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Head over to the Rhodes Blog and check it out!

 

Southwestern Skirt Steak

This skirt steak was incredible.  It was sweet, tangy and smoky, but, most of all, it was absolutely delicious!  The marinade was simple and I had everything in my pantry. It does have a little kick from the red pepper flakes.  Feel free to reduce the amount or eliminate the pepper all together if you are worried about the heat.

We ate this as our main course, but it would be fantastic as fajitas.  If you make fajitas, add some peppers and onions to the marinade and sauté them in a pan while the meat is cooking.  I think I am going to try a combo of steak and chicken fajitas next time.

BBQ Pot Roast over Cheddar Ranch Grits

Growing up I was never a pot roast fan, but since starting this blog I have found several pot roast recipes that I really like.  Of all the recipes I've tried, this might be my favorite.  The roast was extremely tender and juicy, and the sauce was tangy and has a little zip to it.  I served this roast over some Cheddar Ranch Grits - OMG!  The grits were good enough to eat all on their own, but were incredible when combined with the roast.  This was SO good that I want to make it again next week - seriously!

Maple Sausage and Waffle Casserole

We've made a lot of breakfast casseroles and this might be our all-time favorite.  Sausage, cheese, waffles and maple syrup - what's not to like?!  I assembled this casserole the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.  It smelled so good while it was baking and tasted even better!  It was surprisingly light and the waffles were the perfect complement to the syrup.  It was absolutely delicious!  We ended up pouring a little bit of maple syrup over the casserole when we ate it.  This would be the perfect breakfast treat for Mom this weekend.

Vanilla Sugar

This vanilla sugar is over the top delicious!  It is packed full of amazing vanilla beans.  This recipe uses the entire vanilla bean, not just the caviar inside the bean.  It only takes about 5 minutes to make.  Super simple!

I buy my vanilla beans from beanilla.com, but the grocery store and Whole Foods also carries vanilla beans.  This is great in coffee, tea, cookies or even broiled on buttered toast.  I plan on giving this away as gifts for Mother's Day this weekend.

Nutella S'mores Pulls

OMG - this might be my favorite pull bread yet!  Nutella, marshmallow bits and graham cracker crumbs.  What's not to love?  Chicken Legs knew it was good when he caught me devouring this (I'm not a sweets person).  I could not pull myself away from this bread.  It was absolutely delicious!  The melty Nutella and gooey marshmallows - heaven in my mouth!   I found the Jet Puff Mallow Bits at Target.  If you can't find the new mallow bits, you can use some chopped mini marshmallows.  Either way - you must make this ASAP!
