Here’s the How-To video for my easy garlic bread. You must see how quick and easy it is to make fresh, homemade garlic bread. I swear I can smell the garlic just looking at a picture of it! I just made some last night in my toaster oven and had it with a big bowl of vegetable-bean soup. Make sure you serve it warm.

By the way, garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, and antibiotic properties and is a good source of selenium, a powerful antioxidant. Garlic might help prevent colds, reduce blood pressure and protect the heart. But here’s one I never heard before: You can remove splinters with garlic. Placing a slice of garlic over the sliver and covering it with a bandage or duct tape has been a folk cure for years. As natural remedies gain in popularity, people swear this one works. I guess I’ll need to go rub some plywood to see if it works. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

Gone In Sixty Seconds wasn’t just a movie. It also describes what happens when I make my easy microwave kettle corn. It’s so good it’s usually gone in a matter of seconds. This delicious kettle corn is lightly sweet and unbearably easy to make… start to finish: about 5 minutes! It can be made simply sweet or if you’re craving something sweet and salty, that too. Just add a little salt. This snack is so easy to make and so easy to eat, it always disappears in one sitting.

Microwaving is the easiest way to make this kettle corn using a paper lunch bag and stapler. It’s just popping corn, a little oil, a little sugar, (and salt if you like), into the bag, into the microwave and done. You can also make it on the stove the standard way: add popping corn to oil in the pot, add sugar, and pop! Don’t eat the store bought stuff that always seems to have mystery ingredients. There’s nothing like fresh homemade kettle corn. It’s healthier, it will taste better, and you’ll save money. That’s a win-win-win! Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
