Tuscan Garlic Bread Dipping Mix

Anytime I go to a restaurant that serves hot fresh bread, you know, the crusty kind, it seems like it's the first thing I grab for.   The crusty outside with the soft and chewy inside that melts in your mouth.  Of course, I have to have some type of spread or a dipping mix.  Not very healthy, I know, but it's oh so good.

Well, I can get the same bread dipping mix right at home, literally.  A bread dipping mix that has that familiar garlic taste with herbs and spices with a hint of butter taste.  This type of bread dipping mix is not made by me, but is created by Vino Slush.  Jim, over at Vino Slush was kind enough to send me a sample of his great tasting bread dipping mix.  The mix is really easy to prepare.  Just add 1-2 tsp of water, let sit for about 2 minutes and then add a cup of Olive oil.  Let that sit for approximately 30 minutes or longer and you have yourself a nice fixing of dipping mix for your bread.  It's best to pour the dipping mix onto a flat plate once it has rested for 30 minutes.

Garlic lovers will love Vino Slush's Tuscan Garlic Bread Dipping Mix.  It pairs well with crusty bread and an entree of pasta.  The Sicilian Herb mix is prepared the same way, with the same great taste of herbs and spices.  If you are not to keen on using this as a bread dipping mix, another great and awesome tasting way to use this is to simmer the Olive oil and the mix for a few minutes, add your favorite ingredients such as mushrooms, bell peppers, bacon, shrimp, diced chicken, diced tomatoes and/or celery.  Pour this over your pasta and top with grated Parmesan.  DELICIOUS!

These bread dipping mixes are very inexpensive at Vino Slush.  At only $3.50 a package, you get a whole lot of dipping mix in one package.  You can choose your favorite between Tuscan Garlic or Sicilian...OR GET BOTH!  With that kind of price, you can grab a few packages to keep on hand when you have guests over for the holidays or an evening at your house.

Kitchen & Style Stainless Steel Garlic Press & Silicone Peeler Review

This is the first time I've ever used a garlic press and I'm so glad I have one now! This garlic press is so lightweight, but sturdy and easy to fit in hands. The handles are non-slip with a nice grip and has an elegant look about it. I love this garlic press, due to the fact, the other I've seen, do not have the non-slip grip.

The silicone peeler that comes with it AMAZED me! I can't believe that this simple silicone peeler, peels garlic as easily as it did! Both garlic press and silicone peeler were very very easy to use and the garlic came out, finely minced, just the way I like it. What I also love about this press, is that it's dishwasher safe!


All this time, I've been peeling my garlic they way they show on the Food Network Channel.  Take a knife, give it a whack and the peeling cracks to where it just slides off.  Now....there are times, where I don't want my garlic smashed, therefore; I would have to patiently pee the garlic.  With the Silicon Peeler, all you have to do is put your garlic clove inside the peeler.  Roll the Silicone Peeler back and forth a couple of times and Voila!  Garlic comes out peeled!  It's so simple and I don't think I will do without it.  

The Stainless Steel Garlic Press by Kitchen & Style made it easy and fast to finely mince my garlic.  It was more of a puree garlic, but I prefer this.  All you have to do is pop the peeled garlic clove in the press, give it a squeeze, and out comes your perfectly minced (or puree) garlic.  You will have to take a knife of small spatula to get the remainder of what left over garlic there is, hanging around on the press.

Kitchen & Style has a lifetime guarantee on their garlic press.  That says a lot about a company, who believes in their product, to stand behind it with a lifetime guarantee.  You can grab not only your garlic press, but also the silicone peeler that comes with it, by visiting Kitchen & Style's Amazon page.
