It's Fall ya'll!!! After months of temps in the high 90s and low 100s I am finally typing a post with a sweatshirt on. Woo hoo! There is something about the cooler temps that inspires me to create. This morning, instead of my typical oatmeal, I wanted something different. My friend Tina had posted a picture of Egg Boats on FB yesterday and I thought "that's it! That's what I want." The only thing I didn't want was all the bread that came along with a typical egg boat. So I went in the kitchen, grabbed a loaf of wheat french bread and decided to make a bread bowl instead. When I tell you it was delish that is an understatement. The bread bowl gives you just enough bread to hold the dish together but not so much that you are eating just as much bread as you are egg. For me, it was the perfect balance.
