Show me how to Roast Garlic
Roasted Garlic adds a completely different layer of flavor to your dishes. Think warm, nutty & creamy
We keep a jar of this in our fridge at all times for use in pan sauces & pastas, tossed on pizza or even as a delicious spread on a baguette
I like to buy the pre-peeled garlic that many grocery stores sell by the ounce. I generally buy two 8 oz containers at a time – one to roast and one to use chopped, sliced or grated in recipes
But feel free to use whole heads of garlic that you peel the skins off of yourself
Start by pre-heating your oven to 375 degrees
Place the cloves from 4 heads of garlic, peeled, in an oven safe dish; sprinkle with about a teaspoon of black pepper, a teaspoon of kosher salt and about 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Cover tightly with foil
Place in oven for about 30 – 40 minutes until garlic becomes soft and golden brown
Store in a glass container with the olive oil from the pan in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
Perfect addition to our Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes! Try them out!
Enjoy!

Show me how to make Homemade Vanilla Extract
As a kid, I remember opening up our spice cabinet and getting a whiff of the unmistakably warm & fragrant smell of fresh vanilla beans
I am immediately transported back to my childhood when I make a batch of this inexpensive and flavorful Homemade Vanilla Extract
If you’ve ever bought a bottle of pure vanilla extract, you know how good it is, but how pricey it can be!
All you need is a dark glass (vanilla reacts to sunlight, so if clear is your only option, keep it in a dark place) , a couple of fresh vanilla beans, some good quality vodka and some patience
The jar I found was 4 ounces, but you could double the ingredients if you choose to use 8 ounces
All you need to do is slice the vanilla beans lengthwise to expose the bajillions of little black seeds
Smell it. It’s no wonder they make vanilla scented candles
Scrape the seeds out and put both the seeds and pods in the jar
Fill with good quality vodka and give it a shake
You can also use either bourbon or rum as the alcohol to make this extract, but I like that the vodka has no real taste of it’s own and the vanilla flavor takes center stage
Store the Homemade Vanilla Extract in a dark, cool place for 30 days, shaking periodically
It’s worth the wait, trust me
Now get baking! Or gifting! Who wouldn’t love a bottle of Homemade Vanilla Extract for the Holidays!
Enjoy!

Show me how to Roast Bell Peppers
Roasted peppers are a great and versatile addition to many different dishes
Add them to sandwiches, pasta dishes, salad’s or simply with cheese and crackers, these easy to prepare peppers are just delicious
You can roast peppers in many different ways, on a sheet pan in the oven, or on the grill, here I’m going to show you how to roast them right on your gas stove top!
Simply place the peppers on a burner so the flames just touch the bottoms of the peppers
Slowly start turning your peppers as the skin starts to blister using tongs
You want the skin to blister evenly
Make sure most of the skin blackens
Remove from the heat, set aside and let cool slightly
Give a quick rinse under cold water to help release the skin which should peel off quite easily
Peel your peppers open and remove the seeds
Start slicing your peppers
And there you have it!
Delicious roasted peppers!
You can do this with many different varieties of peppers
Enjoy!!!
Ingredients
2 Red Bell Peppers
Show me how to make homemade buttermilk
Buttermilk is generally not something I just happen to have in my fridge and it’s actually pretty expensive to buy
So I make my own
Suppose you needed 1 cup of buttermilk…
Measure out one cup of whole milk and add an acid
In this case, I’m adding 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, so that’s one tablespoon per cup of milk
You can also use lemon juice from a bottle or even white vinegar
More often than not, I have fresh lemons so that’s what I use
Let stand for 10 minutes and you have buttermilk!
Enjoy!
