Love Life, Hate Kittens

Or in my case, denim shorts since I hate jeans. Why do I hate jeans you ask? I don’t like wearing pants. And this is really an entirely different topic all together that I’ll have to explore. /awkward

But roasted garlic.. ahhhh. Roasted garlic is the easiest, most versatile side dish that you can ever make. It goes with everything! You can pop the entire clove out and eat it right out of the skin - it’s not overly garlicky at all, it’s soft, subtle, nutty, creamy, mild. Really delicious. You can use it as a spread on crusty french bread, melt it in mashed potatos, spread it on pizza, top it on steaks, mix it with melted butter and use as a sauce base for seafood, etc. 

Did I mention it’s easy? 

Ingredients:

Whole garlic heads

Olive Oil 

Salt/Pepper 

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

2. Peel away all of the skin on the garlic until you expose the individual cloves. Cut 1/4 inch off the top. 

3. Place the garlic head in a cupcake tray. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. 

4. Cover the top with foil. 

5. Bake for 45 minutes. You don’t have to check it or anything. You’re free to cook the rest of your meal which in my case was delicious flank steak. 

What can I say. I’m domesticated.

Side story, speaking of domesticated, let me tell you how bad that shit is. One night came home from a night of dinner and shots, I was completely smashed. In my drunken stupor, I fumbled around the kitchen and saw thawed chicken in the fridge and decided, you know what sounds good? COOKING CHICKEN. So I freaking season the chicken, pounded it, and managed to even bust out the grill press at 2AM and made the most delicious chicken ever. And tried to force feed everyone else into eating it and yes, it was the most delicious chicken ever.
