Bonus Round

When picking out this week's recipe I also pulled out a card with a small magazine article tapped to it called "Easy Flavor Enhancers."  They sounded pretty good so I thought I would pass them along to you.  Beware, I haven't actually tested these.


Easy Flavor Enhancers:

Caramelized Onions:  Combine 3 lbs. sliced onions, 1 melted stick of butter, and 1 tsp. salt in a 5 qt. slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.  Serve with steaks or add to soups.  Makes 3 cups.  Each 1/4 cup serving: 111 cal., 9 g fat, 1 g protein, 9 g carb.

Roasted Garlic:  Place 6 heads of garlic in one layer on a sheet of aluminum foil; fold foil loosely around garlic.  Place in a slow cooker of any size and cook on low for 8 hours.  Squeeze garlic out of skins and add to mashed potatoes or pasta dishes.  Each head: 45 cal., 0 g fat, 2 g protein, 10 g carb.
