Easy Herbed Garlic Bread

Any medical people out there? I had the worst exam of my life today. It was so bad. On so many different levels. The ARRT is going to come and revoke my licenses. They are going to rip them right off the wall and smash them to pieces on the ground in front of me. Then...they are going to decapitate me. Yes. It's true. So, if you don't hear from me in the coming weeks, it's because I was decapitated. And I deserved it. Though I plead technology difficulties! After work, I bought some Coconut Bliss ice cream (treat yo' self!) and sniffled on the couch while contemplating my utter incompetence. I can be a bit of a perfectionist, at times. 

Moving on from my gruesome and inevitable death, when we were down in Ohio, one of Todd's sisters had made us some garlic bread. Todd was instantly addicted. We got the recipe, brought it back home and it stayed safe and sound in my sock drawer. I understand that makes no sense. But, that's what happened.

Anyways, in the move it got lost and so Todd took it upon himself to find a recipe and make us some garlic bread. He's always in charge of the garlic bread making. So this time he did the cooking!
