The Hilarious Reason Carrie Underwood’s House Now Smells Like Garlic

The “Two Black Cadillacs” singer posted a picture of some plump-looking garlic cloves on her Instagram that, you guessed it, came straight out of her garden.

“Spent all day yesterday dealing with all the garlic in the root cellar,” Underwood explains to fans, showing off a big pile of her very own garlic. “I’ll have a new crop coming later this year so I figured I might as well preserve last year’s haul. I pickled some, minced and pressure canned some and dried some for garlic powder.”

“Our whole house now smells like garlic, but I’m happy with how it all turned out! Now it’s ready to use when I need it!” she adds.

The 8-time Grammy winner details why she and garlic are seeing eye-to-eye right now.

But, first off, let’s address the elephant in the room here: The fact that she apparently has a root cellar in her home. According to Almanac.com a root cellar is any storage location that uses the earth’s natural cooling, insulating and humidifying properties.

That’s some next-level stuff right there, especially when you’re canning your own foods.

Some photos included in the new American Idol judge’s Instagram post show the pickled garlic jars that she canned.

She also included a picture of the delicious-looking dried garlic that she will use for garlic powder.

Just a dash of garlic can make the kitchen smell like it, so we can just imagine how garlicky Underwood’s home smells after she did all of this work!
