Garlic Roasted Ballpark Peanuts

Baseball and peanuts go hand in hand.

(or in this case mitt in mitt)

Salted roasted peanuts are the perfect snack for watching the boys of summer...

unless they are garlic roasted!

Reminiscent of the infamous Gilroy Garlic Fries served at AT&T Park, 

the combo of peanuts, fresh parsley and garlic really are a home run.

Forget the Golden Glove...

it's all about the Garlic Glove.

and the Golden Gate :)

Garlic Roasted Ballpark Peanuts

Heat 3 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and add 3 finely chopped garlic cloves.

Let garlic infuse in the oil for about a minute then add a 12 oz bag of peanuts in the shell.

Cook nuts in garlic oil for about 5 minutes, stirring them often to coat.

Remove from heat, top with chopped fresh parsley, let cool then enjoy.

Opening Day Baseball Lunch

There is nothing my son would like more than for someone to
take him out to the ball game on Opening Day!
But since he'll be at school,
I've got the next best thing, a ball park inspired lunch.

A stadium "hot dog" is a
 rolled ham sandwich with zig zag mustard in a bun... 

I "bought us some" peanuts and Cracker Jacks, 

making this regular brown bag lunch into and All Star meal.

But I felt like I needed to add just a touch of color...

Just a little something Giant for the home team crowd...

but really, I'm not biased...

Nuts for Baseball

If you have ever been to a Giant's game at 

San Francisco's AT&T Park,

you have probably eaten (or smelled) 

the infamous Garlic Fries.

Fresh from the outfield for tonight's All Star Game...
Garlic Roasted Peanuts!

Simple ingredients...

but so much flavor...

Heat 3 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan,

add 3 finely chopped garlic cloves.

Let garlic infuse in the oil for about a minute 

and add a 12 oz bag of salted, roasted peanuts.

Cook nuts in garlic oil for about 5 minutes, stirring them often.

Add chopped parsley, let cool and enjoy.

I know it is the All Star Game, 

but we will still be routing for the Giants,

we're just NUTS about them...
