Hey, Reader,

Learning how to master the basics can really help take the flavor of your meals up a notch. So today I have 2 brand new recipes for you that will do exactly that - How to Roast Garlic and How to Make Maple Glazed Pecans.

In this post, I've included two ways to roast garlic at home - as a full head of garlic, or individual cloves! Add this caramelized sweet, mellow garlic to soups, garlic bread, spreads, sauces, and more. You can even slather it on a piece of toast for a natural garlicky spread.

Free of refined sugars and egg whites, this maple glazed pecans recipe is the perfect topping for just about anything that needs a final sweet, buttery crunch!

Enjoy!
