Very good, and rootbeer is a fun ingredient!<br/><br/>I used 1 teaspoon garlic powder because I forgot to buy regular garlic, and 3 tablespoons canned diced chilies. In the future I might reduce/omit the olive oil and reduce the salt to make them a bit healthier. I would also make a double batch... they dissapeared too quickly!

Me in my kitchen, and at the Wild game.
I am a photographer, portrait and fine art, and I am a yoga instructor. Besides cooking, I enjoy fitness and yoga, reading, organizing, gardening, puzzles, family, and HOCKEY. GO WILD!!!! I love to cook for my large husband...he is a natural powerbuilder and has a lot of muscle to feed. People ask how he got so "huge" and he has to answer, my cooking of course!
We both work out a lot, so we eat a lot of healthy food...I cook a LOT! The recipes I post and save to my cookbooks are usually healthy and lower calorie, or can be adapted to be so.
