Today I am taking a recipe from http://www.tuscanrecipes.com/.
I typically would not want to use Spring tomatoes but this is so delicious there is no way to pass it up. This is a great appetizer or main course.
Tomato Bruschetta
This is one of the more common appetizers known and found everywhere. But in case you have yet to find a good recipe for tomato bruschetta, you've just found it! (modestly speaking, of course)
Serves: 12
INGREDIENTS
- 8 chopped ripe roma (plum) tomatoes
- 5 leaves chopped fresh basil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 pinch of dried oregano
- 1 dash of crushed red pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 2-3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 loaf of Italian-style (or French) bread, cut into diagonal slices
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, oregano, red pepper, salt, pepper and olive oil. Use more olive oil, if necessary, to coat the entire mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes for flavors to blend.
- In the meantime, preheat the broiler. On a baking sheet, arrange the slices of bread in a single layer and brown both sides slightly in the oven. Remove the slices from the oven.
- Spread the tomato mixture on the still warm toasted bread slices and serve.
SPRING OUTFIT
Ok...just got my adorable spring hat in the mail today from eBay...so cute! Just in time for my spring trip to Sunny South Carolina!
I love this outfit...perfect for traveling....Love my Comfy Keds...AND this is actually a dress...paired with this hippie style tunic. I feel like a free spirit!

Thought for the day...by Louise Hay
"We must release the past and forgive everyone!"
This is so true...I am going to make amends with someone who has hurt me in the past because for some reason I keep hanging on to it. Lately....I am all about lightening my load...physically and spiritually, minimizing everything in my life...clothing, household items, etc.....but for me one major thing is to forgive this one person...really forgive.
Kisses,

I love Bruschetta! I can't wait to have fresh tomatoes in my garden for it. I love your hat!
ReplyDeletehi hon,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about tomatoes...I can't wait until August when we finally get them...Then I begin to eat tomato sandwiches everyday until I can't stand them...then they are gone..so quickly. I am going to have to wear more hats this summer...had a few skin cancers removed from my back! Get checked, the second leading cause of death in women next to breast cancer is SKIN CANCER! Don't want to scare anyone...but it's true...
