Enjoying the Bounty of Summer
Posted in Food on 08/06/2009 09:38 am by CaceySince I live in a townhouse without a yard I am unable to have a garden myself but have been blessed by the generosity of others who are willing to share some of their summer harvest!
Last week my sister-in-law Marie shared some fresh tomatoes. I decided to turn them into a Balsamic and Basil Bruschetta – it was so yummy it makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Balsamic and Basil Bruschetta
- 1Tbs. Garlic, Garlic
- 1/2 cup Balsamic and Basil Dipping Oil
- 8 diced plum tomatoes
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 3 Tbs. red wine vinegar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt to taste
- Sliced French Bread
Combine first 7 ingredients; chill to blend flavors. Serve on bread. Makes 6-8 servings.
My mom has zucchini growing like crazy so she sent me several bags full. I’m really excited about it because I want to turn a lot of it into baby food for Emma! I’ll also grate it and freeze it to have on hand for zucchini bread and muffins during the winter. Yum!
What are you doing with the harvest from your garden or the fresh vege’s/fruit you picked up at the farmer’s market? I’d love to hear any tips or recipes you have to share!
