Pregnancy Friendly Classic Garlic Bread
Warm, golden, and fragrant with real garlic and fresh parsley, this is the kind of side dish that makes any meal feel like a celebration. During pregnancy, it's easy to second-guess packaged or restaurant versions of simple favorites — hidden additives, excess sodium, or mystery seasonings can make even a humble bread course feel complicated. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify: unsalted butter, fresh garlic, a handful of parsley, and a good baguette. The broiler does the heavy lifting in just a few minutes, giving you that perfectly crisp, bubbling surface without any fuss. A little Parmesan scattered on top before it goes under the heat adds a savory, nutty finish that takes it completely over the top. Slice it up and serve it straight from the cutting board while it's still hot — it disappears fast, and honestly, seconds are non-negotiable.
