Garlic Fries!! Need we say more?

We know Garlic Fries have become the rage at stadiums across the nation. Here we have removed all that oily mess and replaced it with tons of FLAVOR!


1 lb frozen french fries
2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary

Garli Garni to taste

Toss minced garlic in olive oil.

Place fries in baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil mixture and part of the rosemary. Sprinkle with Garli Garni and toss.

Bake according to package directions tossing occasionally. Once fries are cooked and golden brown, remove from pan and sprinkle with remaining rosemary and more Garli Garni to taste. YUM!!

Salsa-licious!

No football game would be complete without chips in salsa and we're happy that our fans LOVE Garlic Festival Garlic Salsa for its zesty, tangy ways, but we want you to love it even MORE!!
Here are a few ways to take great to BETTER:

- Add thawed baby shrimp.
- Add chuncks of fresh avocado.
- Add a small can of drained pineapple chunks for a sweet & spicy version.. try mango too!
- Layer with beans, cheese and other "taco" favoites for a layered dip. Olé!
- Stir in small cans od kernal corn and black beans.
- Add fresh chopped onion and some fresh lime juice...

Super Bowl Bound Baby!!

On Sunday the 20^th, the whole GFF crew was up in San Francisco attending the International Fancy Food Show. Fortunately for us football fans, several of the booths and the snack bar had TVs. Periodically throughout the morning, one could hear a whoop or groan as the 49ers battled against the Falcons for the AFC Title.

Tracy was receiving text updates from her husband, and as we walked the show we were finally drawn to a bank of TVs above the snack bar just in time to see San Francisco miss a field goal, followed shortly by a fumbled ball at their one-yard line.

Heavy sighs, and a few swear words, escaped the crowd. People approached and anxiously inquired as to the score. Tension buzzed through the crowd and finally, a few minutes later, the 49ers scored what would be their winning touchdown! Talk about excitement. People where jumping up and down, whooping, shouting and dancing with happiness.

Meanwhile, on computer screens across the country, Garlic Festival’s Facebook fans wondered if a promo of  “GIANT” proportion would follow a “hometown” win.

Can the 49ers make it all the way? We hope so and you should too. Time will tell as we wait with bated breath for the Super Bowl outcome. PROMO or NO PROMO??!

In addition to waiting for that final score, we will also be preparing snacks for the Big Game! Each day this week we will share a favorite “garlicized” appetizer to spice up your football offerings…

 

~ Garli Glaze Hot Wings ~

This is a winner!

Pat dry and toss the desired number of wings with any hot sauce (such as Tobasco) and bake at 350º on an oiled cookie sheet or parchment paper until nearly done. Remove, drain & cool slightly. Toss with Garli Glaze to coat evenly & return to the oven & finish cooking until tender & slightly caramelized.

 

Garlic in the City

We are in San Francisco today attending the International Fancy Food Show. So much to see and TASTE! Of course there was much excitement during the 49er game and lots of celebrating. We couldn't resist having dinner at The Stinking Rose restaurant with the gang.... Yum!!

Holiday Gifts and New Digs!

Ugh, you guys.. I wrote a whole long post and then my computer ATE it.. No Garli Garni or anything.. just... gone!


ANYWAY! I wanted to share a few pictures of our new little "showroom". We participated in San Benito County's second Annual Shop Hop this past weekend. Unfortnately, we are not located downtown and the weather was not the greatest so we only had a handful of visitors but it was still fun. We got to hang out together, eat yummy food, drink wine and bask in the holiday glow. 

I think I mentioned a couple months back that we were expending our office space and moving to the warehouse next door. ( ugh) That move included a new showroom space and we had a lot of fun decking it out for the holidays.

We welcome folks to come visit us.. locals or garlic lovers just passing through. Just give us a call and come on out. We have all of your favorite Garlic Festival® products on hand plus some pretty snazzy gift baskets too! 1803 Shelton Drive #104 in Hollister, CA. 831-638-9556
