Cottage Cheese Dill Bread

Cottage Cheese Dill Bread by Bob Vincent

We don't eat bread often. However when the weather begins to change and it starts getting cooler it seems spark me into wanting to make bread. This is a good bread with almost anything.

Savory Lemon Herb Shortcakes

Savory Lemon Herb Shortcakes by Bob Vincent

This is a savory shortbread recipe adapted from one that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1995. Split in half these make a great base for savory dishes or main dish salads.
