  1. Wow, I love garlic and thisis really good. I did kick up the garlic a wee bit and the italian seasoning and the parmesan give this a great meld! We had it for garlic bread on the grill one nite then I brushed it on ribeyes on the grill the next. I have some more to top baked potatoes with this week! Yummy stuff! TY
     
  2. I made this butter and rubbed it all over a whole chicken. I was worried that the skin was going to burn but I baked it for two hours on 350 and it came out perfectly browned and still very moist. Everyone loved it. In addition, I saved the drippings and sauteed some vegetables in it. Wow! Thank you.
     
  3. Excellent! We followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect for us. I think that this would be perfect for potatoes as well. Thanks for posting! (It was fun to try your recipes for "pick your chef".)
     
  4. Loved the flavor of this garlic butter! I used double the garlic, which was perfect for me...looooove garlic....but if you aren't a big fan the normal amount would be perfect. I used smoked paprika instead of regular paprika and my garlic butter ended up turning a pinkish/red color, but it was delicious.
     
  5. This was really good garlic butter. What I did was melt the butter with the fresh garlic and ingredients. I let the garlic cook for a couple of minutes. Took it off the heat and let it sit for an hour. The butter resolidified. That's when I spread it on the bread, wrapped it all in foil, and heated it in the oven for an hour at a low temp. I got lots of compliments. I'll do it again.

  2. Yup. This will definitely be on hand in our house for the rest of all time. Incredible. (I also used it to make cheese biscuits instead of just plain margarine -- YUM!)

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
