Don't you just love garlic?

I just attended my 20 year high school reunion last weekend which was a bit surreal. Sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. I found myself looking at it from a somewhat disconnected point-of-view which turned out to be rather entertaining. And next week I'm going to do hypnotherapy work with my first cancer-fighting patient. We're going to be working to liberate him of his 2 pack a day smoking habit and support his body's ability to rid itself of the cancer (in conjunction with his medical treatments). I have great hope.

But what I'm really interested in writing about is food - specifically this new garlic snack I happened to "discover" while cooking the other day.

Okay, so you really, REALLY have to like garlic for this, but if you do, it's very tasty and an easy way to get more garlic in your diet. Garlic is said to have amazing healing properties, probably not scientifically supported, but either way who can get enough garlic? I can't! What to do: Take a whole grain cracker that has a rough texture and then rub a clove of garlic vigorously across the top. I like using Harvest Whole Wheats which have a "woven" look to them (also, they're baked and contain no trans fat). You'll be amazed at how much of the garlic "disappears" into the cracker. The fresher the garlic the tangier the taste. The result: an aromatic, garlicky and delicious snack. If you want, you can top the cracker with a fresh basil leaf or anything, really. That's it. Isn't that easy? Try it, it's good!
