For the Garlic lovers out there!

Do you love garlic, not only for it's taste but also for the wonderful health benefits? I do too, but I find I cannot tolerate raw or lightly cooked garlic anymore. Here's a great simple recipe that is absolutely tasty and low fat, and as a bonus, doesn't leave you with garlic breath!

Take one full head of garlic, and slice off the top, just exposing a small bit of the cloves within. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Wrap the entire head in aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour.

Once cooled, simply squeeze the yummy roasted garlic out of the cloves and into a serving dish. I also like to add some additional kosher salt and mush it all together. This garlic spread is incredibly tasty and can be used on bread, bagels, or mixed into mashed potatoes or anything for that matter. This stuff is so yummy it would be good on ice cream!!!

A new weight loss technique! ;-)

I know we are all looking for the newest greatest trend in appetite suppression and weight loss.......well, hang on friends because I have found it, and it only costs a mere $1.99!!!

When a craving hits for something sweet, I want you to have a couple of the newest Jelly Belly jellybeans before your snack. Sounds simple & tasty, right? The only stipulation is that you must have one of the "Beanboozled" flavors. The brown one could be chocolate pudding (yum!) or DOG FOOD.
The yellowish ones could be buttered popcorn or ROTTEN EGG.

I guarantee you that after one or two of these luscious flavors, your appetite (and most likely your lunch too!) will disappear, and you won't be hungry for HOURS.

I'm not a paid endorser of this product, but sampled them earlier today with my daughter, and I am still completely disgusted. ;-)
