Garlic
The warm aroma of Garlic cooking is something almost irresistible…until you smell like garlic after eating it! This root vegetable is a friend to almost any meal, giving a strong delicious flavor. Saute garlic in a little olive oil before starting your marinara sauce or use it as a base for pan frying fish or other meat. Garlic can be roasted easily in the oven for smooth and soft garlic goodness, great for breads, crackers, or eaten by itself. My favorite garlic recipe has to be Roasted Garlic Crab and Garlic noodles, nothing gets better than garlic, butter, crab, and pasta!

Potatoes are so versatile. As Samwise Gamgee would say, you can “Boil ‘em, Mash ‘em, Stick ‘em in a stew.” Wise words Samwise, wise words indeed. I like to keep potatoes on hand in the house all the time. I usually end up making breakfast potatoes with them when they start to grow eyes. I had some left over the other day and decided to make a potato soup, why not? My DH loves soup and what could possibly go wrong?
Do perfect mashed potatoes exist? Many times I had thought that they were here, in my kitchen, ready to be eaten, only to find that they were less than worthy to be called perfect.
