snack:urday - a girl's night in

thursday nights are project runway nights for us chicas, and this past thursday we were able to get five of us in the same location at once. incredible! so we decided to have a little italian potluck. pasta and sauce is such a comfort food and if it pairs with wine, well that's just great. i decided to step up and make some bread and there happened to be a recipe in my rocco book for "gooey cheesy garlic bread". win! it turned out to be really yummy, but next time i make it i'm going to alter it a little bit. it's super easy to make:

-cut a baguette in half lengthwise and width wise to make four pieces
-rub garlic over bread and cook for 8 minutes @ 450 degrees
-remove from oven and dip each piece in chicken broth
-sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, salt and crushed red pepper
-broil until cheese melts

turns out to be super delicious! the only thing i would change is instead of dousing the bread in chicken broth, i would only dip the top part (where you would normally spread the butter). if the whole piece is submersed, the bread comes out a little soggy, but still tasty. i am loving this book. it was definitely a good investment.

as far as project runway goes, this season has definitely been interesting so far. there were some surprises and the group of designers is very talented. it'll be a good one! i really want nina garcia's wardrobe...
