Now you know it…I love football and football food! YUMMY!  I was sampling a dish at a Super Bowl party several years ago when I came across this incredible Italian stuffed bread. Now, I crave it.  Plus, our house smells amazing after I make it.  Everyone starts pouring into the kitchen wondering what is creating such an amazing aroma.  It’s EASY too!  It’s a great option to bring to the next party you are attending, maybe a Super Bowl Party!  It’s amazing!  If you make it and don’t like it, swing it by my house and we will devour it for you!  Let me know if you try it and how it goes!  I even want to know if it’s a flop.  I always enjoy a good story:) Italian Bread 10+ cloves fresh garlic 1 large loaf French bread unsliced 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup olive oil 1 pkg frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped Sliced olives (a can) Pepperoni (I use a lot)...
