This weekend so far has been alot of catch up.\u00a0I have spend most of today getting caught up on email and prepping for the launch of our first ever 28 Day pedometer challenge on Monday<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0I am so\u00a0super pumped about it! But am about to shut down the work brain for eats and treats with my peeps.\u00a0\u00a0I am heading to a friends\u00a0and we are each\u00a0responsible for bringing some snacks so I am bringing garlic (k, don’t turn up your nose yet – read on!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been addicted lately\u00a0to roasted garlic<\/strong>. I can’t get enough of it!\u00a0 When you roast garlic it, it takes aways alot of the strong flavours\u00a0but you still get a softer, sweeter garlicky flavour that you can just spread right on breads, mash in potatoes or cauliflower (lower carb option), add to whole grain \/ brown rice pasta,\u00a0 make a salad dressing by blending with\u00a0olive oil\u00a0or just serve on an antipasto plate still intact<\/strong>. It will make you look super fancy but it is the most easiest thing to do. <\/span><\/p>\n

HOW TO MAKE ROAST GARLIC – Chick Style!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Heat your oven to\u00a0400 degrees<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin but leave the skins on the individual cloves. Cut the tip off the entire head of the garlic. (About\u00a01\/4 inch\u00a0but you want to keep the garlic’s shape)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Place on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle the garlic with olive oil.\u00a0 You can also sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wrap the aluminum foil.\u00a0 Leave a hole open at the top to let the steam escape.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Bake for about 30-35 min or until the garlic is soft.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Squeeze out the cloves to add to recipes or just place on a plate as is for your guests to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"mmmmm<\/a>

mmmmm delish!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

BONUS – <\/strong>Garlic is a SUPER FOOD<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/strong> It helps prevent cancer, lowers blood pressure and helps prevent weight gain. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CHICK TIP<\/strong> – Serve roasted garlic on fresh baked whole grain ciabatta<\/strong> at your next brunch with omelettes or instead of garlic bread at dinner.\u00a0 Garlic butter has 110 calories per tbsp and roasted garlic only has 9 cals in 2 cloves!<\/strong> You will still get all the yummy flavour without the artery clogging fat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cheese,<\/a>

Cheese, garlic and sundried tomatoes....can it get any yummier?<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So for tonight, I am bringing my garlic, some french cheese I can not pronounce, sundried tomatoes and whole grain ciabatta.\u00a0 Such a domestic diva, I am!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Have a FAB day!!<\/span><\/p>\n
