FOOD TRUTH: If you love garlic as much as I do....make this!!!!...and thank me later. And oh yeah, you're welcome!
And if you're not a fan here are but 5 reasons you might wanna reconsider. Then grab a pack of mints and get on board!
1. Boosting Immunity to Fight Disease. Garlic is rich in vitamin C and potassium. It also aids in the digestive process.
2. Garlic Naturally Reduces Your Blood Pressure. Thanks to the unique way in which garlic is able to affect the smooth muscles of the arteries and therefore cause them to relax and dilate, garlic can directly lower your blood pressure naturally.
3. It Beats Antibiotics in Fighting Common Illnesses. Got a cold? Two words: GARLIC TEA!
Listen, don't ewww! Add a little lemon, ginger, honey and drink up!
You're welcome!
4. It Effectively Combats Cancer
Garlic enhances the production of what is known as hydrogen sulfide. This increased production is effective in preventing the development of cancer — particularly prostate, breast, and colon cancer. Garlic smothered lamb chops anyone?!!
5. It Can Detoxify Your Body.
Containing multiple sulfur-containing compounds, garlic is able to stimulate liver enzymes responsible for removing toxins from the body. Get you some!
So here is a recipe of all recipes that'll defiantly kick up any salad, sauce, stew or..... just your breath!
But it's so good that you won't even mind the foul odor of your own breath.... with your mouth closed!
Devine Garlic Dressing
- 2 cups Nutritional Yeast Flakes
(You can find this product @ Whole Foods Market in the white "pay by weight" bins. They're also sold in tubs in some markets. And of course, there's also Amazon dot com.)
- 1 1/2 cup Water
Brags Liquid Amino (to taste)
- Healthy hand full if Garlic
- Vegetable,Grapeseed, Olive or Canola Oil.
In a blender, combine nutritional yeast flakes, water, garlic and a little liquid amino. Blend, taste, add more liquid amino, blend taste. Repeat until you're satisfied.
Now continue to blend.
As you're blending, it'll sound something like a small construction site and a cyclone will appear at the center of the mixture. Don't be alarmed!
Add a slow stream of oil as you continue to blend.
Gradually, the cyclone will begin to close. When it does completely, you're done! Easy!
The beauty if this dressing/sauce (besides its healing properties - duh!) is that it can be used in many ways!
- use as a dip for fresh vegetables
- a base for sauces
- added flavor to a pot of stew
- a base marinade for fish, chicken, beef and tofu.
- blend in reconstituted sun dried tomatoes and strain ( or leave it chunky), for a different flavor.
- you can also add chili peppers and fresh basil. Delicious!
- thin and add puréed blueberries or balsamic vinegar for an awesome salad dressing.

Oh, and don't forget....
