Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing

This is another recipe I'm hooked on from joyofbaking.com.  It's an easy sugar cookie recipe I've used many times along with the egg white royal icing.  Royal icing is just an icing that hardens.  To make the icing pink, I simply added four drops of red food coloring.  Then, so the colors wouldn't run together, I iced the cookies with the pink icing first, then the white so the pink had some time to dry a bit.  These little cuties tasted just as delicious as they looked!

My Version of Everything Bread

MMM!  I can never say enough about bread coming straight out of the oven, the aroma fills the house like no other!  This bread actually smelled a lot like pepperoni bread i should point out. I have never made any cheese filled bread, and this one came out perfect.  This is my basic focaccia recipe, but I added 1/4cup of wheat germ, 1 cup of whole wheat flour (2 1/2cups of flour total), fresh mozzarella, "Italian herbs", minced fresh garlic, 1/3cup parm. cheese, about a tbs of chipotle chilies.  I kneaded the dough without the mozzarella cheese, then right before the first rise I rolled out the dough, and folded in small chunks of the cheese.  I then rolled it up and let it rise three times, punching it down between each rise.  I grated more mozzarella cheese on top of the bread right before it went into the oven for about twenty minutes.  It came out perfect!  Yes!
