Granulated California Garlic (not garlic powder or salt, this is real dehydrated garlic)

Real garlic is the best but when you don’t have time to peal the cloves or you just want something to sprinkle on veggies or bread, this is hands down my favorite. This is real granulated California Garlic that has been dehydrated and milled to size, no sodium is added (it’s not garlic salt or powder) or anything else except garlic that’s the main reason I like it so much and it is delicious, it is super strong so you don’ t need a lot when cooking with it. A favorite in the kitchen for sure over at my house. I often use it on my veggies or my homemade croutons, or garlic bread, or when cooking etc. 1tsp = 1 clove of garlic so it’s an easy conversion. I buy this at Costco, I kind of singlehandedly  keep that place in business:).

Coarse Ground Malabar Black Pepper

Since I told you my favorite salt I figured I’d share my favorite pepper too. No long explanation here, it’s coarse and bursting with flavor so if you buy it start small when you first try it out, it has a strong pepper flavor and I find it delicious. Costco for the win on this one too (if you haven’t noticed I kind of LOVE Costco, we’re like best friends).

Larger than your 9X13 casserole dish

Large baking dish 15X10

 

A friend of mine who has a large family had this giant casserole dish that was larger than your traditional 9X13 pan. With our growing family I can’t just make one 9×13 inch pan anymore for dinner, we needed a little more so this dish was perfect it is 15X10 inches. This is a wonderful size for feeding a large family or entertaining a crowd or just cooking more of anything you want. It’s a great invention, why I didn’t know about it sooner is beyond me but hopefully since I’m telling you about it, means you’ll have the inside scoop on some awesomeness. Here’s the one I bought, this one comes with a lid which I like so I can store things in it or transport it easily, here’s a link for just the casserole dish without the lid and it is a bit cheaper. I haven’t really looked in stores to see if they sell this size but it’s worth a try.

Do you remember my recent post I did with a recipe for Delicious Roasted Vegetables? I used this 15X10 inch pan or those veggies.
