About


If you have seen many of my recipes by now you must realize that I am a little fond of garlic.  
I have been trying to come up with a garlicky side dish and this is what we came up with.
It was toasty, rich and creamy, just full of wonderful aromas from the cheese, garlic and rosemary.
Simply put “Good Stuff”.
I had ribs on the smoker, so I smoked up a bunch of onions and garlic for this one. You don’t need to smoke it, but it adds another layer of flavor.
This time it was ribs and corn but you can serve it with anything. Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to your taste.
Take it and run with it….
Enjoy,
