Basil, Garlic, and Mozzarella Sourdough Bread
Basil, Garlic, and Mozzarella Sourdough Bread My recipe has an attractive appearance because it includes a deep score of the loaf, separating it into eight slices.

Virgo is known as the loner of the zodiac, for their extraordinarily picky ways, and their strong desire for the best of the best. Virgo takes their time before coupling up with someone.

Delightful Orange Spice Cake With Springtime Spices
Perfect Spring or Summer Cake Orange spice cakes normally showcase fall spices and herbs: cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. For this cake, I decided to swap out those typical ingredients for something that would taste more like spring. Citrus is usually associated with spring, so I figured a cake centered around oranges should do just fine with flavors you might associate more with March, April, and May.
