Easy herb bread

This is so easy and quick! It came from a cooking class with Dan Berger.

Easy Herb Bread:
Take a refrigerated roll of loaf bread, like Pillsbury. Bake according to directions BUT subtract 5 min. from bake time. (So IF it says bake 20 min., pull it out at 15 min.) Drizzle EVOO on the top sprinkle your favorite herb (I like rosemary) with Kosher salt. Return and finish baking (the other 5 min.) Easy and great with soups. Tastes like you went to a lot more trouble than you did!

Welcome To Our Cincinnati Herb Club!

We are a group of people who want to learn about the wonderful world of herbs - one herb at a time. Our goal is to use more herbs for cooking enhancements and health. We hope to learn how to grow a variety of herbs in our gardens as well.
Our first meeting will be at Jeanne's house on Sunday September 30th - 5pm! Jeanne is making soup-yum! Please email me, Karen, for directions oslerfamily@fuse.net

Jeanne and I are also planning to attend a wreath making class using herbs on 10/10 at 7pm through the Forest Hills School District. Susan Christin-Foy is the instructor (excellent!) and the cost is $45.
