Roasted Garlic Recipe

Roasted Garlic
4 heads of garlic
3 Tbs Olive Oil
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel away to outer papery skin, to reveal the inner cloves.
With a very sharp knife, cut off the stem and 1/4 inch of the cloves, exposing the individual cloves.
Drizzle each head of garlic with 2 tsp of olive oil.
Place onto a roasting pan or Pyrex baking dish and cover with foil or baking dish cover.
Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed.
When cool enough to touch, use a knife or fingers to remove to soft cloves.
I like to eat roasted garlic on quality bread or crackers.
You can also use in recipes, like Roasted Garlic Dressing or Sour Cream Dip

Creative Cooking

"Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music."

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine in which practitioners treat patients using highly diluted preparations that are believed to cause healthy people to exhibit symptoms that are similar to those exhibited by the patient. The basic principle of homeopathy, known as the "law of similars", is "let like be cured by like." It was first stated by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796.
