Cheesy Garlic Bread
This was the first time I have ever made bread. Let me say, it was amazing! I found this recipe at Lauren's Latest! It takes a little while to make but it is definitely worth the wait! This recipe makes 2 loaves of bread. I don't have the best picture of it but it is so delicious!
Ingredients:
1 cup Warm Water
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 envelope Active Dry Yeast (2 1/4 Teaspoons)
1 teaspoon Salt
3 cups Bread Flour
Olive Oil, For Greasing Surfaces
⅓ pounds Sharp White Cheddar, Or Any Other Cheese You Prefer
½ cups Garlic Butter
Directions:
1) Stir water, honey, & yeast together. Let yeast proof for 5 minutes.
2) Stir in salt & flour. After well mixed, let mixer kneed dough for 5 minutes.
3) Grease bowl & dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
4) Cut dough into two equal portions and swirl into long baguettes the length of the cookie sheet.
5) Cover baguettes with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
6) Preheat oven to 400 F, once preheated bake loaves at 350 F for 20 minutes
7) Slice cheese into thin slices and melt butter.
8) Once loaves are done baking brush with butter & bake another 5-7 minutes.
9) Let loaves cool, cut 3/4 through the loaves in 1 inch increments.
10) Brush butter between each slice and fill with a slice of cheese.
11) Bake another 3-5 minutes to melt cheese, serve immediately.

Okay, I’m taking a relatively (big to me) step and joining up with the Ultimate Blog Party at 5 Minutes for Mom. I’m hoping it will be a fun time! I’m a relatively new blogger still trying to find my blogging voice! Some of my current favorite things to write about are recipes, photography, crafts, coupons, Disney, & Pinterest finds! I am hoping to expand eventually to family life when we expand our family! For now our family consists of myself, my husband, our two cats, & puppy! Seriously...who can say no to this little Disney Princess? I know I can't!

Sunday Scavenger Hunt!
This week I'm taking part in a (new-to-me) link up and it's a photo scavenger hunt with Ramblings & Photos! I'm really trying to start using manual more so these are a little bland but I'm trying to learn. This weeks items were: New, Life, Frangrant, Pink, & Obvious so here's my take on them:
1) New - My new kindle fire. I'm absolutely obsessed with it!
2) Life - My beautiful Tulips coming to life! I can't wait for them to bloom!
3) Fragrant - I love this scent from Bath & Body Works.
4) Pink - The pink is a little hidden but these are flowers my hubby got me for my bday
5) Obvious - I wasn't quite sure how to capture this one so here is my pup obviously waiting for daddy to get home!

Do you like my hat??
Hello! Today is finally my day off and I'm loving it! I'm trying to get caught up and play with my camera! This week's theme is Hats! I realized that I didn't have any photos of us in silly hats! (note to self: take some at Disneyland in a few weeks!) Instead I found one of Donald sporting a super cute pirate hat during a stage show!
Now let's see you in your favorite Disney silly hat!
*Be on the look out for a super yummy taco dish tomorrow and hopefully some of the awesome Disney details at our wedding coming up this week!*
