I used to make this garlic toast when I was a kid, using the oven broiler and I can fairly say I burned more than a few pieces of bread. Now we use the toaster oven. It’s VERY easy. Butter a piece of bread and sprinkle garlic salt to taste. Toast in the toaster oven … Continue reading easy garlic toast

White chicken chili, that is. I think it may be cold every where in the U.S. right now, and I don’t pretend to be whining. I actually like it.
