A perfect winter meal! I have wanted to try a Garlic Biscotti for some time now and thought I would just fine chop the garlic and add to a recipe, but once I discovered this recipe using Roasted Garlic – I knew it was the way to go!
The recipe may need some adjustments since it didn’t rise as much as I had hoped … and I tasted the Rosemary flavor quite a bit and hardly any of the Garlic flavor. So I will be tweaking the recipe next time around.
Roasting garlic takes about an hour and all you have to do is cut the top of the bulb off, drizzle with olive oil and cover. Bake in the oven 45 minutes to an hour. Your whole house will smell like “Garlic”!
The Minestrone Soup was perfect! I love this soup and it has to be one of the easiest dinners to prepare. Since the Garlic Biscotti only called for 2 large cloves of roasted garlic, I added the remainder of the bulb to the soup along with the rest of the ingredients. It was quite delicious and with this soup you can add an assortment of vegetables – whatever you happen to have on hand …. peas, green beans, cabbage.
I had intended to make a new recipe for dessert called Snowball Cookies, but instead I actually spent the afternoon outside shoveling Snow! I didn’t pay attention to the weather this morning and had no idea we were in for this much snow … Surprise, Surprise!

This looks fantastic! You’re right – perfect for snowy weather
That minestrone soup looks good. Do you have a basic recipe for tomato soup? or Carrot soup?
My basics are chicken stock, a jar of canned tomatoes, garlic & onion, oregano, basil. Then I add various other ingredients. I will add additional water if it gets too thick.
I love minestrone soup and yours looks quite delicious!
Btw, how’s the food war going?
