We love garlic too!

Do you have a garlic press? Ben bought me one for around 17.00. Pricier but well worth it. I bought one from Wal Mart for around 7 or 8 dollars and it was cheap! I took it back. My new one came from Bed Bath and Beyond and it does an excellent job! I guess you get what you pay for.

I use mine all the time, I use to just by pre diced in a big plastic jar. I still use that sometimes. It's pretty good too. The fresh is so much stronger than the pre diced in a jar.

My children love to eat the garlic in the jar by the spoonful. Boy, does it make there breath stink! ;D ;D And...they love to eat the wild chives that grow on our land. They are strong too. Both are good for them and I do not mind them eating them.

Garlic and onions are a natural antibiotic! They have all kind of good healthy properties.

Mmmmm Garlic and onions, I love the way they make ordinary food taste so good!

Here is a meal I made last night....

Sierra Vista Delight!

4 cups dry brown rice ( you can use white)

diced celery about 1 cup

diced onion about 1 cup

8 cloves of garlic pressed or you could use 3 Tb of pre diced in a jar

6 beef bullion cubes crushed

Put rice and water ( 8 cups) and all the ingredients in a pot and simmer for 20 - 30 min until done.


In another Pot add:

2 cans kidney beans ( drain out only a little juice, leave most of the juice)

2 cans pinto or red beans ( drain out only a little juice, leave most of the juice

2 cans black beans ( drain out only a little juice, leave most of the juice)

1 can tomatoes (use all of the juice)

season with 6 pepper seasoning (or you can add a little red pepper and some salt and pepper)

also add Cilantro

Salt and pepper to taste

Simmer for approx 20 min I added a little water it needs to be a little soupy....serve this over the rice.


Normally we eat this with no meat, but last night I simmered boneless skinless chicken in olive oil and then diced it up and added it to the bean mixture....Mmmm!

Enjoy!
