Garlic Festival Foods Giveaway

This giveaway has ended! I love cooking with garlic! It has such great flavor and wonderful health benefits as well (and I'm half Italian so it runs in my blood). Research has shown that garlic has an effect on blood pressure, cholesterol and other risk factors.

Garlic Festival Foods was started in 1986 by Caryl Simpson with an awesome garlic seasoning blend she called Garli Garni. I first tried Garli Garni after seeing Garlic Festival Foods' booth at the San Diego County Fair several years ago. We have since moved away from the San Diego area but I make sure my parents pick me up a few bottles every year so I don't run out. This seasoning is wonderful on everything! I use it on vegetables, pasta, steak, chicken, rice, in marinades, in casseroles and on anything else garlic tastes good with. You can also find some wonderful garlic recipes like Chicken with Caramelized Onion and Garlic Pizza or French Garlic Soup on their site.

Garlic Festival Foods has generously offered to give one Recipes for Moms reader a special Garlic Gift Basket picked out by Caryl herself. The gift basket includes the famous Garli Garni - all purpose garlic seasoning, Sweet & Spicy Garlic Mustard, one of their newest products Apple Garlic Jam and two fresh heads of garlic as well as recipes packaged in a cute Christmas basket. I have found that gifts of food are great for anyone, especially that hard to buy for family member, co-worker or the friend who "has it all". They have some great online Christmas specials going on right now that are good until December 22nd. You can also check to see if any of their products are available at a retail location near you.
