Do you grow garlic in your garden? I have, but garlic does best with full sun - a luxury we don't have in our veggie beds. When I've grown garlic here it was delicious, but the bulbs were very small.
Mom and her Garden Buddy grow garlic every year, and share some of theirs with us, both fresh, and their homemade garlic powder. We like to call it Life-Changing Garlic. Yep - it's that good!

If you're like me you may love cooking with garlic, but could do without the peeling. Here's a quick, easy tip I learned a couple of years ago for peeling it the easy way, in just seconds. It's easier and neater than the smash-and-peel method, and your fingers don't get all garlicky.
You'll need two same-sized metal bowls. Medium-to-large-sized bowls work best, as you'll want some space for the garlic to bounce around in. Separate the garlic bulb into cloves, and place the cloves into one of the bowls. Place the rims of the two bowls together as in the photo above. Use both hands to hold the rims together, and shake vigorously for 15 or 20 seconds. Separate the bowls, and your garlic will be peeled, just like the photo at the top of this post. That's it! Now it's ready to slice, press, or use whole.
Did you know this trick already? If not, try it - it works!
