This isn’t for everyone but the most die-hard of garlic fans. Here’s the deal. Right now I’m having a mid-afternoon snack of mixed hot organic veggies. And, being a garlic head, I like to occasionally ramp it up. So before I serve the veggies I take a clove of raw garlic and cut it into thin slices onto the plate. Top this with the hot veggies.

So we sauntered down to the local Whole Foods Market to hit their salad bar. The first thing we found was the awesome freebies. Cheese, crackers etc. But since I’m still going gluten and diary free I stuck with the Veggie Chips and the Olives with Garlic (which were incredible).
