In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I seriously love bread. Most of my meals don’t feel complete without bread of some sort. I blame my southern country heritage. A standard meal in our household growing up would be homemade fried chicken served with heaping piles of mashed potatoes and green beans. Oh, and those green beans? Cooked with bacon grease and ham.

Believe it or not, my mom’s style of cooking was actually a healthier version of what she grew up with. My great grandma was a true country woman with biscuits always on the table and a bucket of lard for cooking pretty much everything. It’s no surprise that a traditional spaghetti dinner isn’t complete without that side of garlic bread. That’s why I need an easy recipe like this to whip up when I need it.

 

Homemade Garlic Bread Ingredients

• Loaf of Italian Bread (uncut)
• 1.5 Cups Butter or Margarine
• 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
• .5 tbsp Garlic Salt
• 1.5 tbsp Dried Basil

Step 1

First, preheat your oven 400° Fahrenheit.

 

Step 2

Next, remove your loaf of bread from the packaging and slice it down the center lengthwise.

 

Step 3

Set your bread, open-faced, on a parchment lined baking sheet and place it to the side.

 

Step 4

Next, add your butter to plate or small mixing bowl.

Note:

• This looks like a lot of butter but because the bread is so thick, you want this amount to seep down into the loaf during baking.

 

Step 5

Top your butter with garlic powder, garlic salt, and dried basil.

 

Step 6

Use a fork to mix the butter and spices together thoroughly. You want to make sure the flavors are throughout the butter.

 

Step 7

Next, spread half of your butter mixture on one side of your cut apart bread.

 

Step 8

Cover the second side of your bread with the remaining butter mixture.

Step 9

Bake your garlic bread for 30 minutes at 400° Fahrenheit.

Step 10

After 30 minutes, broil your garlic bread on low for an additional 10 minutes.

 

Step 11

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and slice into pieces for serving.

 

This delicious and easy homemade garlic bread is as awesome as it gets. The outside is crunchy but the inside is soft and delicious. It’s so good you could totally eat it on its own but you’ll also love sopping up your leftover sauce with it on spaghetti nights. By the way, the leftovers are pretty darn good for snacking too, if there are actually any leftover.

I love french fries. Actually, I love carbs period. That’s why I’m so impressed with people who totally rock the KETO diet. Like, the results look awesome, but the path to get there seem less fun.

If you’re looking for a healthier take on your fries, try out this baked version. It’s still delicious (and not as good for you as a salad) but it doesn’t have all of that frying oil or processed ingredients like what you get at the restaurant.

More importantly you’ll save money. One bag of frozen fries at the store are easily $3.00 or more. At a restaurant you’ll pay at least a dollar for a single serving. These babies only use a few potatoes from a $2.00 bag leaving you plenty leftover for additional meals. Ka-ching!

 

Baked French Fries Ingredients

• 4-5 Medium Russet Potatoes
• 5-6 tablespoons Cooking Oil (I used this walnut oil)
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Step 1

First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit.

 

Step 2

Next, wash your potatoes with water to get rid of any dirt or dust.

 

Step 3

Then slice your potatoes lengthwise until you have disks.

 

Step 4

After your potatoes are sliced, cut the disks into fries and place in a glass mixing bowl.

 

Step 5

Once all of your potatoes are cut and in the bowl, add your cooking oil to the mixing bowl.

 

Step 6

Next add in your paprika and garlic powder.

Step 7

Lastly, add in your salt.

 

Step 8

Mix your fries, oil, and seasonings. Coat the cut potatoes thoroughly.

 

Step 9

Place your fries in a single layer on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Note:

• You will either have to cook your fries in two batches or use 2 baking sheets at a time to cook all of the fries.

Step 10

Bake your fries at 425° F for 15 minutes.

 

Step 11

Flip your fries after 15 minutes. Then bake 20 more minutes (or until the outsides are lightly browned and crispy).

 

These homemade baked french fries are seriously yummy. Crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Even better, you’re saving money on your groceries every time you make them! Serve these babies with some ketchup and these delicious spicy Hawaiian chicken sliders for a weeknight dinner the whole family will love.
