cheezy garlic bread

confession: i'm a bit of a bread fiend.  if there is a gorgeous, crusty, artisanal baguette around, look out.  seriously, if you want to have some, best not to leave the room because it will likely be gone by the time you get back.  my mom has often said i'm such a nadel because of this bread love.  neither of my brothers are any better and my dad, well i think we got it from him.  she of course is a nadel by marriage and had managed to avoid the bread fiend trait.  {i'm no genealogist, but is it possible that bread love is genetic??}

needless to say, i try to limit the amount of bread we keep in the house.

but after all of the bread we ate recently in spain i've thrown caution to the wind and we've started treating ourselves a nice ace baguette when at the grocery store.  {sidenote: it's funny how i've found myself making several trips a week for grocery runs lately...}  sometimes in the afternoon when my hunger strikes, instead of having a little smoothie or chia pudding to get me through to dinner i've been making this:

cheezy garlic bread.  it's sort of my new obsession, and yes i realize that it's far from being a superfood, but sometimes just being super delicious is good enough for me.  {at least there's some nutritional yeast on it though, right?}

to make your own super cheezy garlic bread you'll need:

• a few slices of your favourite artisanal baguette
• earth balance
• a pinch of dehydrated garlic granules {or go for fresh if it doesn't kill your stomach like it does mine}
• a pinch of sea salt
• nutritional yeast
• a couple tablespoons of daiya
• a pinch on dried basil

then simply toast your bread, spread it with earth balance, season with a little pinch of garlic & salt and then douse it with nutritional yeast.  finally, sprinkle liberally with some daiya and a little dried basil and finish it off under the broiler to get your cheese all melty. 

i think this is my new comfort food...

try it yourself! 

just don't ask me to keep an eye on it - i can't promise it will be here when you get back.
