eclaire note: you’re in for another treat, dear readers! one of my bestest friends, kate, offered to guest post again! you may remember kate from her guest post back in december of amazing seven-layer cookies. this time, kate’s sharing her mouthwateringly scrumptious focaccia bread recipe with you! this focaccia bread always disappears in the blink of an eye, enticing many of us to show up on time to parties so that we can park ourselves in front of it and gobble it down…or maybe that’s just me? regardless, kate’s cooking and baking always inspires me, and i hope it does the same for you!
