Ahhhh the letter G!
G is for Garlic...
Not only does it ward of Vampires but it is delicious in any dish. You can use it in curry, stir fry, any type of meat, bread, veggies.... and you can take it daily as it helps your body fight off many things...yes G is for Garlic.
Here is a great recipie for Brushetta!! A real favourite of mine.
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ripe juicy tomatoes slices crusty Italian bread, cut 1/2 in. thickgarlic clove minced1-2 T capers, rinsed1/4 c loosely packed fresh oregano or fresh basilS&P1/3 c extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Bring medium sauce pan of water to a boil. Cut a cross at the root end of the tomatoes and drop them into boiling water. Cook until skin of tomates begins to split, 1-2 min. Transfer tomatoes to bowl of iced water. Peel and seed tomatoes, then roughly chop. Place in strainer over bowl for 20-30 min. Brush bread lightly with olive oil and place over hot grill or under broiler until golden on each side. Put tomatoes, garlic, capers, and oregano or basil in bowl. Season with s & p. Add oil and mix. Spoon tomato mixture over each bread slice....YUMMY!!!
another favourite is Guacamole
In a bowl:
Mush up an avacado
fry about 3 strips of bacon until crisp and save the fat, then break up bacon and add fat and all to the bowl of mushed avacado then add
garlic (minced)
"epicure" spice: chili lime (about 1tsp)
and mix together. Then add 1 squeezed key lime and mix again....it is delish!!!
Garlic's health benefits and medicinal properties have long been known. Garlic has long been considered a herbal "wonder drug", with a reputation in folklore for preventing everything from the common cold and flu to the Plague! It has been used extensively in herbal medicine. Raw garlic is used by some to treat the symptoms of acne and there is some evidence that it can assist in managing high cholesterol levels. It can even be effective as a natural mosquito repellent.

Oh I also love garlic, sometimes I only add it to my daily meals for seasoning. I love its scent - fortunately my hubby loves it as well, or kissing would be a problem! LOL
