Bread baking was a success!

That right there is my first loaf of Italian bread. I followed the recipe on the bag of bread flour! I know that is rather silly but I didn’t want to get too far from basic my first time out. Today I am baking two loaves of rosemary bread. I have fresh rosemary that is all ready to go. The bowl in the picture is my first attempt at homemade pesto. I was delicious!

Look at that color! Doesn’t it just scream flavor? I made this fantastic recipe from Gimme Some Oven last night. I loved the whole thing although we used spaghetti and not gnocchi. My guys didn’t care for the shrimp and sort of tolerated the asparagus.

I try to take decent pictures of my food and for my tutorials. I also have two teenaged sons and they like to take pictures. I never know what I will find on my camera after they have had it in their hands. This picture caught me off-guard and made me laugh at the same time.

That is our lovable mutt Jack. Here is his full face. Isn’t he cute?

He likes when I make pasta because he eats what falls on the floor. Strange dog.

If I can indulge once more, here is another picture I found when uploading this morning.

Happy Saturday everyone!
