I loooooove garlic. One of my favorite ways to eat it is to roast whole heads of garlic. Once roasted, the garlic becomes sweet and soft and can be squeezed right out of the clove onto bread. It's spreadable :)

An acquired taste, and really only for serious garlic lovers, but it's wonderful.

Fat-free (meaning no butter) garlic bread!

Linda, I am so with you, girl. :lol:
I LOVE garlic! We never had it growing up (British parents. We Brits were never big on flavour, you know. heh heh), and the first time I realized how much I really loved it was when I met my DH. His Dad used to make garlic sandwiches. Toasted white bread (gotta love that trashy Wonderbread) with a little butter and sliced raw garlic. Oh, my gosh... talk about divine!! :love:

That recipe looks awesome... I'm going to check it out. Thanks, Linda!

I looove garlic :) Roasted garlic is AMAZING! I haven't had any in ages, I should get my garlic roaster out and make some! Thanks for the reminder.

The first time I ever tasted it, I kicked myself for never having it before. It's so wonderful :)

Linda -- I love this thread every week and have really enjoyed poking about that Healthiest foods website!

(I don't post about it a lot, but thought you should know!)

I'm very glad you enjoy it :)

That's a great site for recipes and information and since they change the food every week, I figured it would be a good idea to share it with everyone.

Healthy foods rock! ;)

Garlic... yum I can hardly imagine a meal without garlic. Roasted garlic is easy even when having a bbq. I remove the very outer layers of the bulb leaving plenty of inner layers, place it on foil, sprinkle with olive oil, wrap in the foil and toss on the grill. I always make plenty as it is good even the next day.
