GMS is a cooking blog for real life. I want you to be able to cook at home\u00a0without feeling overwhelmed, so I write recipes you can make whether you&#8217;re a beginner or someone who cooks regularly. I avoid processed foods when I can, and hope my recipes can help you do that too, while still enjoying the occasional sweet and indulgence.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic, My Soul was started by Corelyn and me in 2009. We were a couple of\u00a0East Coasters who moved West in hopes of adventuring along the Pacific coast, learning a bit about avocados and citrus, and enjoying year-round seventy degree weather. We started the blog to\u00a0follow our\u00a0mutual culinary love, and to prove to skeptics &#8211; and ourselves &#8211; that they could keep the kitchen alive with new flavors and new dishes.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Corelyn headed off to Atlanta for new adventures, and I\u00a0took over full time here in Los Angeles to run the blog with the help of my fabulous contributors. We hope you&#8217;ll join us\u00a0in the kitchen, where we are constantly\u00a0making food for real life, for every day, and for incorporating into your wheelhouse.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12042 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/beach.jpg\" alt=\"beach\" width=\"680\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/beach.jpg 680w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/beach-652x433.jpg 652w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/beach-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/beach-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12555 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/GMS2012_0867.jpg\" alt=\"Garlic My Soul | Corelyn and Jennie\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/GMS2012_0867.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/GMS2012_0867-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/garlicmysoul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/GMS2012_0867-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/marycostaphotography.com\/\">Mary Costa Photography<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Garlic, My Soul.
