We liked this nacho recipe and did not alter the directions or ingredients. Each bite that had a roasted garlic was fantastic. We really loved it. The rest of the nacho toppings were good but not great; DH said he felt you could take your favorite nacho recipe as a base and add the two heads of roasted garlic to it and have an even better recipe. I would not have thought to add roasted garlic to nachos and I definitely will keep this method in mind for next time. Thanks! Made for Sun and Spice 2013

I live in a wooded hillside area of Los Angeles where it feels like being out in the country. I grew up in Rhode Island, and came to LA after graduating from URI. I recently retired from my job as an environmental specialist. So now I have time to collect internet recipes. My hobbies & interests are aquatics, shell collecting, my cats, feeding stray cats, home improvement projects and cooking.
I love to travel and, years ago, lived in Mexico for several months. My favorite cookbooks are the ones written by Diana Kennedy; they are all great; and I have them all, some signed by her when I was enrolled in her cooking classes. I have a lot of cookbooks; some of my other fave authors and their books are: Madhur Jaffrey (especially World Vegetarian, World of East Vegetarian Cooking and A Taste of the Far East), Faye Levy, Martha Rose Shulman (especially Mediterranean Light, Provencal Light and Mexican Light) and Paula Wolfert.
