G is For Garlic and Green Onions

Garlic and green onions.  Classic combination, right?  What could be better?  What could make them better?  Shoving them in a warm crispy loaf of bread!  I love bread.  I especially love homemade bread.

When I was younger it was one of my favorite things to make with my mom.  I can remember when I was in high school I would get bored and randomly whip u a loaf of bread while I was bored at home alone.  My mom was always surprised when she'd come home and there was a fresh warm loaf of bread in the kitchen.  The happy surprise of freshly baked bread was always short-lived due to the fact that the kitchen looked like a bomb went off in it.  {I've nevr been a tidy cook.}

Bread is a great thing, a fun thing, for kids to bake.  Sunny had a ball kneading the dough.  

My loaf didn't rise as much as I would have like it to.  But, it was still delicious.  I could have been due to the fact I had to take Kaylee to swim practice so it was rising a bit too long.
