Stuffed French Loaf

My husband and I have been married for 8-1/2 years so before that it was just ME I had to worry about cooking for. Well, with the exception of Thursday nights...that was SURVIVOR Night with The Girls.  What is Survivor Night you ask?  You know... Survivor (the tv show) and The Girls (my girlfriends who were also single at the time -- 5 of us!) Every Thursday we would take turns going to each other's house and the hostess cooked dinner for everyone - and we watched Survivor, of course. It was kinda our practice cooking night where we tried out all kinds of new recipes and everyone else got to be the guinea pigs.
Well, there are several of those meals that I have kept in my collection of recipes and pull out from time to time and tonight was one of those times.  This recipe was compliments of my friend, Carolyn -- it was one of her practice meals that was a Hit (they didn't all end up that way lol).  It's a super easy 4 ingredient dish and you can even make it ahead and then just pop it in the oven the night you want to serve it. 
Happy cooking!!!  (and btw: did you know Survivor is about to premier for like it's 24th season...wow!  Impressive)
