Garlic Bread / Bruschetta

Here is a good side for pasta, fish, or baked chicken.

Slice a roll of french bread into thick slices. Rub each side with Margarine or butter and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning mix (includes garlic powder). Toast in oven till sides are brown.

For Bruschetta, do the same but add some chopped tomatoes (I chop the tomatoes with some garlic) mixed with some parsley (I use curly parsley or Italian parsley as they don't get soggy and add some crunch). Toast in oven till sides are brown.
