My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Pesto Bread

I know some of you were laughing your butt off the other day when I posted the Collard Green Pesto recipe. Now you will have to use the store bought pesto and I will be enjoying this bread made with the Collard Green Pesto. Don't ever under estimate and old southern woman.

Makes 1 loaf
print recipe

1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
3 tablespoons your favorite brand of pesto sauce because you don't have mine
1 loaf French or Italian Bread, homemade is best, but bakery is fine

Preheat grill to medium. Cut the bread into 1-inch slices without slicing completely through the bottom crust. Mix the first 5 ingredients and blend well. Spread on both sides of the bread slices. Wrap in foil and place on the edge of the grill. Grill, turning occasionally, about 10-15 minutes. Don't burn the bread.
