Product: Chebe Garlic & Onion Breadsticks


Earlier this week after we tried the Chebe cinnamon rolls and decided that they were pretty darn awesome, I decided that I needed to make the garlic & onion bread-sticks. This mix came in the variety pack that I ordered last week from Amazon. Still haven't joined Amazon Prime yet? Well, what are you waiting for? No, I haven't been paid by Amazon to encourage you to join the program. I am just a really strong believer in it.

Last night Fiance made chicken alfredo with GF penne pasta. I can't remember what kind of alfredo sauce he used but it was delicious. Since he was doing the actual cooking of the dinner I figured that I could whip up these bread-sticks. Once again, the package instructions were easy to follow. The bread-sticks took next to no time to mix together and only about 18 minutes in the oven. 

Like the cinnamon roll mix you will need some extra ingredients. I added shredded Italian cheese to my mix. I also added a bit more than the recipe called for. After all, who doesn't love cheesy bread-sticks? No one I know, that's for sure.

Once the bread-sticks were finished I brushed some butter spread on them. My favorite butter spread is Brummel & Brown. It's made with yogurt. Win-win for everyone. The health benefits of yogurt with a buttery taste. So good. The parchment paper in the picture looks greasy but that's not because of the bread-sticks. That's because of the butter spread. 

I have to admit that I was a bit surprised with these bread-sticks. They were pretty crunchy on the outside and really soft on the inside. I worried that I hadn't cooked them through but I think it was all the cheese that I had put in them. The package said to make twelve bread-sticks so I did...and between me, Fiance, and D-Man we ate them all. These bread-sticks are light, crunchy, chewy, cheesy, and delicious. 

It's official, we are definitely sold on the Chebe bread mixes. We will be ordering more of these and very very soon. I'm not sure which one we'll try next but please stay tuned....

Oh Fiance and I are getting married this weekend. Our cake is going to be gluten free. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope that it's as good as the cupcakes Sweetz Bakery in Sterling, VA. I'll post a review of the cake and bakery after I get back from the wedding next week. So until then....

Bon Appetite!
