Garlic Knots You Won't Want To Miss

Are you a fan of garlic? We are. I always have a couple heads of garlic on hand- it's the one flavor booster that will make my tongue water. You can do so many things with it too! For instance:

Rub a clove on your toast

Pasta Aglio e Olio 

Put it in soups

Rub your salad bowl with a clove to get some essence-y flavor

Put it in salad dressings

Put it in any pasta dish

Season lamb 

Or any kind of meat

Add it to shrimp scampi

Or anything else you can think of!

So last week, when I hit the equivalent of writer's block in the kitchen, I went on this website called tastespotting.com (click Here to go There) and found some great inspiration. (I personally will blame my friend Susan for sharing the addicting website with me) You will find some really mouth watering food on that site and if you click on the picture, it brings you to the blog or website that has the recipe. (you can spend a lot of time on the websites that I will be sharing with you)

It didn't take me long to come across a picture and recipe for garlic knots. Garlic knots? LOVE THEM. I went to KneadySweetie Blog and decided to make them for dinner that night. They were delicious. flavorful. easy. 

Usually when it comes to using yeast and having to wait and let rise and wait and bake and so forth, I am very skeptical because I am very unlucky when it comes to that sort of thing. But these turned out great!

We got a bakers dozen out of the recipe and are also using the bread for sandwiches. (since they make fairly large knots) 

I have to admit, my picture of the garlic knot is not the greatest, but go to her blog and look at her picture. It's much nicer. Also next to try (from her blog): Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream.

  

What's  y o u r    favorite way to use garlic?
