Tortilla Espanola (Spanish Omelet)

⁽¹⁾

In Spain, a tortilla isn't the cornmeal flat bread we think of, but a sort of omelet loaded with onions and peppers. This is a popular item at tapas bars, and an easy dinner to make after an evening of celebrating.

Herbed Breadsticks

Whole wheat bread is always my favorite, this whole wheat breadsticks are great, all the herbs and garlic mix together, and the breadsticks turned out golden and brown, crispy outside, and moist inside. Yummy.
