Recipes of the Week

Here's a couple recipes to share. The Ghetto Garlic bread is a family favorite. I pick up buns on markdown and stash them in the freezer just for this. You could also use hot dog buns if you have some of those. It sounds kinda weird, but try it, it is really good and you won't ever buy frozen garlic bread again!
