The only tough decision was deciding which one to use! Before I get on with the recipe, I want to talk about the cheese grater I received from  Cabot Cheese .  When I first looked at it, I thought: oh, it's cute, but I won't use that. I have so many cheese graters. But it turns out I was wrong. It's the pe...

So, if you've been following the #4theLoveofGarlic event, you might have seen several of these recipes already. But I wanted to give you a place to see them all together.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of  Moms Meet .   All opinions are my own. We've all heard it before because it's a simple formula. You can eat less, move more, or - ideally - you can do those two things in tandem. As I move into my mid-forties, I am definitely trying to be better about all of this. However, instead of 'eat less,' because that is exceptionally challenging as a food writer, I am making my mantra: eat  better , move more. My goal is not necessarily weight loss, though that would be a welcome effect. My goal is to be more healthy - to, again, eat better and move more. On the eating better side, I'm bad with diets. So, I will start with actively cutting out processed sugars and being more mindful about my snacking habit. Serendiptiously, I was just selected to review some items for  PACT Organic  through my role with  MomsMeet  as a blog ambassador. As I launch this 'Eat Better, Move More' journey, I'll be doing ...

Welcome to the kick-off post for my online event #4theLoveofGarlic*! I wrangled half a dozen garlic lovers and we worked with ingredients from Melissa's Produce and a kick-ass garlic press called the Garject from  Dreamfarm   to create recipes to make your garlic loving heart sing. Click for more information about the event, the bloggers, the schedule, and the sponsors:  here . And, while you're there, enter the giveaway for a chance to win a Garject of your own! We have six Garjects to send to our lucky readers. About the Garject... In all the years I've been seriously cooking (that's going on two decades), I have never had a garlic press. Okay, I guess I should clarify: I've had lots and lots of garlic presses; I have just never liked any of them!  So, I resorted to some mad knife skills while I usually used the presses once or twice, then shoved them to the back of the utensils drawer until Spring cleaning.  That is, until I receiv...
