Instructions to make Mike's 100 Clove Roasted Garlic Spread:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Chop the small brown ends from garlic cloves. Place garlic on two sheets of tinfoil.
- Coat garlic cloves in garlic olive oil. Add all seasonings and coat cloves well.
- Double wrap your garlic. You don't want her to burn. Wrap garlic up tightly.
- ● Roast garlic for 45 minutes. Test your garlic. If a knife goes thru them easily - they're fully cooked. ● Lightly coat thick bread slices in butter or olive oil and place in the oven with your garlic. Bake bread for 8 minutes or less depending upon the thickness of your slices.
- Smash your warm garlic with a potato masher or fork.
- Taste test your garlic mixture and see if you'd like to add more cracked sea salt. Sea salt really does make this dish!
- Chop sun dried tomatoes and mix well into your smashed roasted garlic clove mixture.
- Seal her up tight and let her sweat for a half hour. Stir intermittently.
- I typically Mason jar these and give them as gifts.
- ● Serve spread warm or cold on toasted bread, quality crackers or heavy duty chips. Roasted Garlic Trisket Crackers are the BOMB with this spread! ● Here in New Mexico, we typically squeeze lemon or lime wedges on everything we eat. But, lemon tastes much better on this spread IMHO. Consider those additions. They really do pair well and contradict the sweetness of the garlic and the sun dried tomatoes. Enjoy!
Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood
For the most part, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and must be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for us to consume. There are several foods that, when you eat them, may boost your mood. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are fantastic for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, especially the yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for boosting your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and feel happier!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these nuts are loaded with magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.
If you wish to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you overcome your depression.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you are eating grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling hungry can be awful! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is wonderful for moods. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while also loosening up the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be healthier. And now you know green tea can help improve your mood as well!
You can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are terrible for you so you can feel better! Try these suggestions instead!
