When I was a teenager my dad would make a minestrone soup with homemade garlic bread. It was the best meal and now that he has passed I miss his cooking. Sadly though I doubt I would be able to eat this meal due to the gluten. Therefore I made my own version of a garlic bread which seems to be quite popular on my YouTube channel Googie’s Kitchen.
The bread is delicious with a variety of dishes and I really enjoy eating it. As many of you will know I love to experiment in the kitchen. I decided to add a few sprigs of rosemary to this already yummy bread. The results were so good that I had to share the recipe with you. Again this bread is scrummy with a variety of meals such as soups stews and curries. I love it and I hope you will enjoy it too.

Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Quinoa Bread was thoroughly enjoyed by me. My husband Howard and son Ted can still eat bread so when I make a loaf like this one it’s normally always for me. Don’t worry I don’t eat it all at once, the ingredients in this dish are freezable. I separate the bread into four sections and store it in the freezer until I want to eat. All I need to do is take the quinoa loaf from the freezer the day before and let it defrost overnight. Then I have a lovely piece of quinoa loaf to eat with my breakfast, lunch or dinner. However you decide to eat this loaf, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
