aloha friday scoop

offline life kept me unexpectedly preoccupied these past few days so, combined with feeling less than inspired of late, i must apologize for my lack of posts this week. one of my highlights was befriending this delicous garlic bread recipe by the barefoot contessa in the kitchen. chop, sauté, spread, bake & enjoy!
