Yes, Food

I made a couple meals this week that were worthy of a blog post. Wednesday night, I made turkey burgers from the most amazing recipe my sister made up...and I must say, they turned out great! The turkey is mixed with spinach, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives (although I didn't have those), garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, egg, and bread crumbs, then made into patties and cooked in a pan with some olive oil. Then you toast the bun, and slather it with mayo mixed with basil, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper, then top the burger with feta cheese. Wow...you must try this!!! I also made a pasta salad with cheese tortellini, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and italian dressing. My sister had made a blog post about making a warm slaw with cabbage, apples, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and garlic...she didn't give amounts though, so I just made something similar. It turned out delicious...not as colorful as hers, though, since I just used green cabbage instead of purple.

Tonight, I made turkey noodle soup with the turkey stock I made and froze after Christmas. We froze some turkey, too, so I got that out and mixed in some carrots, celery, garlic, roasted red peppers, and noodles. Yummy!

To go with the soup, I chopped the top off of some garlic, drizzled with olive oil, salted, covered, and baked until it came out nice and soft.

If you've never had this, it sounds really weird...but the garlic actually becomes really soft, and the flavor really mild, not a harsh garlic flavor at all. You just plop the cloves right out...

...and they spread like butter on the bread.

The only problem is, I now have tons of garlic left over! Guess I made a little too much...anyone know any good roasted garlic recipes???
