When visiting my amazing photographer friend, Amandalynn Jones, seriously, check out her photography, in Wisconsin this summer we went to the most amazing Farmer’s Market. I have a post from that trip waiting to burst out, but I’m afraid for now, you’ll have to wait. In the meantime, I’ll give you a taste. One of my favorite tastes – Spicy Cheesy Bread. I took my original Garlic and Herb Pull Apart Bread Recipe and added just a couple twists – added a chunk of Mozzarella (I used smokey string cheese) and some red pepper flakes, and voila! You have Spicy Cheesy Pull Apart Bread. And, you’ll be ever so happy about that.
