We have only recently discovered roasted garlic, thanks to "Good Eats' on the Food Network, and it is so unbelievably good that it should be considered a sin! :tongue:

The amazing part is that it is incredibly low in calories, low in carbs, no fat (unless you put a little olive oil on it when cooking), and no sodium! It tastes so much better than butter, too!

Just hope your significant other doesn't mind the smell afterwards--but if you each eat some, then who'll notice? :laugh:

    Today, I cooked a whole head of it.

    Here's one site that I got the recipe from, except I only used 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil sprinkled over the head.

    AB should run for president--he'd get my vote!

    My husband mentioned tonight that since we started watching the Food Network, we're eating so much better with a variety of foods yet much more healthier, too!

    I LOVE Roasted garlic but NOT a fan of Alton......I am more of a Michael Chiarello fan myself.....

    I use EV VO and season the top with Italian seasoning...
