PIN IT if you LOVE IT!

You might think I’m a crazy foodie but I love to cook. I love creating new dishes and throwing ingredients together to see what I can come up with. It might also sound a little crazy, but I love the aroma of many different foods. When certain smells fill my house, it’s better than any air freshener. I also don’t wash my hands for a while after handling certain herbs because I love the way my hands smell. My husband often catches me standing in the kitchen, sniffing my hands. Crazy? Maybe a little but basil smells heavenly, especially combined with garlic. (Making pesto is a sensory overload for me and I love it!)

Do you have favorite food scents?

There are so many food scents that I just LOVE. In fact, I think some of them have actually been made into scented candles and it was a genius idea. Herbs like basil, cilantro, and rosemary, all great and all often seen in fragrances combined with something sweet and fruity. But how about basil and garlic together? As I already mentioned, I could sniff my hands all day long after making pesto.

I also love when the scent of roasted garlic fills my kitchen.

Garlic in general is a wonderful scent but when it’s roasting in the oven and quickly fills the house with that aroma, I can hardly wait to taste it. That is a missed opportunity for candle makers right there. Although, I probably wouldn’t buy it because it would make me hungry just like a cookie scented candle does.

Roasted garlic tastes as good as it smells. It’s great to add to pasta, potato, and chicken salads. Try using it in a dip or a spread, or just spread some on a toasted piece of bread with a little bit of olive oil drizzled on top. Another great way to use roasted garlic is in sauces, just like in this fettuccine dish. It might be a simple sauce but it is PACKED full of great flavors.
