Sometimes I miss a good old PB&J or a nice ham sandwich on soft earthy flavored bread…not anymore! This is so good and feels and taste like it just came from a fresh bakery..IT DID, YOURS! You can do this and amaze your family and friends. I suggest hiding it or at least making 2 loaves.

I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
