WHERE TO GET IT!

In 2011, we have been working hard to get Garli Garni and all of your favorite Garlic Festival products into more markets and venues to make it easier for our consumers to get their favorite goodies without having to pay for shipping.

We are very proud that we have vastly expanded our availability in CA with new markets taking our products daily :) We also have many reps who travel the country to vend at all kinds of shows, from Renaissance Fairs to Home Shows.

We wanted to remind all of our fans that its easy to find out where we will be by visiting our website and clicking on the Find Us At...  tab. Under this tab you will not only find the show schedule for the majority of our representatives but also a listing of all of our retail accounts. Both are searchable by state so its super easy to find us.

Garlic Festival Foods missing from the shelves of your favorite specialty food store? Drop Jodi a line with the name and contact info of the store and she will see what she can do to get our products on their shelves. ( It never hurts to bug in the store buyer's ear too!)

Hope these tips help you find your favorite products and if not, remember you can order 24/ 7 on our secure website. Sign up for our mailing list, and be the first to know about sales and specials!

Tyler is a 5th generation Californian and loves the beauty of outdoors. Foodie, Home-brewer, Lover of Beets. You'll find him out and about in the wilderness combining his passion for cooking and dancing. 


He enjoys cooking for his Family and girlfriend and developing new recipes that are based on fresh, organic, healthy vegetable ingredients.  His favorite Garlic Festival Food products are Jalapeno Garlic Mustard and Spicy Herb Pickled Garlic.


So Congratulations Tyler and Thanks for being the first of what we hope will be MANY Product of the Month winners!



Heart Healthy GOOP Tacos ( Vegetarian and Vegan friendly! - or if you prefer dairy and meat you can always substitute according to your taste).  This recipe is simple and takes only 20 minutes to make and its delicious!

• 1 packet Garlic Chipotle Lime Garli Goop
• 1 bag or container of meatless "ground meat" * substitute ground beef, pork, or chicken according to your preference
• 1 small can tomato sauce
• 1 tub Tofutti (non-dairy) sour cream - or real sour cream if you prefer
• 4 oz jar Garlic Festival Spicy Salsa
• 2 cups crunchy shredded lettuce
• your favorite Corn tortillas

Instructions:

• Empty bag/container of meatless "ground meat" into a saute pan over medium heat. Then, in a separate bowl mix one can tomato sauce with 1/2 of the Garlic Chipotle Lime Garli Goop packet (save the other half for later step).  Add mixture to saucepan and cook on medium until hot, stir frequently.

Empty one cup sour cream in a  small mixing bowl - you can eyeball this amount. Mix the remaining 1/2 packet of Garli Goop with the sour cream. Set aside and use later to top your tacos.

Heat up your corn tortillas as desired (microwave, stove, oven)

When the taco "meat" is done sauteing, assemble your taco...use about 1/4 cup of "meat", one generous spoonful of Garlic Festival Foods Spicy salsa, another generous spoonful of sour cream mixture.  Top with shredded lettuce. 

• For additional flavor you can add a few sliced up Garlic Jalepeño Stuffed Olives into the taco.
