Matzah

For all who have dietary restrictions on leavening at this time of year, I attempted Matzoh Bread. I found the recipe at tammysrecipes.com. I would make this again and use it as a base for many good things. I was a little stingy with the salt and you should not be with this recipe. This is a very simple, quick recipe.

Fresh Garlic Prep Tip

Using an entire bulb, cut through the flat end slightly, then hit it with the side of a large knife, put the garlic in a plastic sandwich size container and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Remove lid and garlic cloves will be peeled and separated. The garlic is now ready to be minced! Saves lots of time. Thank you, Sweet Stephan.. This is such a simple idea and a huge time saver, if you like fresh garlic in your food.
