Our family goes absolutely nuts over garlic. Another plus to raising the kids with a healthy variety of foods and never, ever letting them get boxed into only accepting three or four foods they 'would' eat when they were small.

So it turns out we have a slight change of plans for Christmas. We will not be going to Illinois for the holidays this year; we will be spending Christmas here in CoMo. Why you ask?

Most or almost every non vegetarian recipe is incomplete without this ginger-garlic paste. The pungent smell coming from ginger-garlic erases the raw smell coming from meat.

Hot Chicken soup in chilled winter evening is my all time favorite. The recipe which I am sharing with you today is my Grand pa’s favorite.

Garlic Naan is my favorite Indian flat bread. Whenever I go to an Indian restaurant, I order this item. Yummy! I wanted to try this at home but was not sure how it will come out.

I go through our "stash" of winter squash each week to pull out anything that either needs to be used or catches my eye for use during that week. Late last week when I was going through the squash, I chose the mini hubbard squash. I decided I wanted to make soup out of it (big surprise) but I wanted to do something a little special. I don't cook with fresh herbs a lot, I don't really know why, but

Why is it that food can bring out the worst in some people — especially when it involves group participation and dining out? There are the ordinary pitfalls of deciding what to eat, where to eat, and when to eat.

With Halloween just two days away, I find myself thinking about vampires and garlic. Actually, I don't find myself thinking so much about vampires but I do think about garlic quite a bit. I'll go to the farmers' market just to buy garlic. If a recipe calls for garlic, I'll double the amount. If onions are called for in a recipe, I'll add some garlic—even when it's not an ingredient.

With the evenings beginning to get chilly, soups have started to sound good. Neither Brett or I have ever really been "soup people" but I think it is due to bad experiences with canned soups.
