First addition to Mealtime Menu's.
In my house...when I stare at the wall and think..."What am I going to make for Dinner?" If I have chicken, potatoes and some sort of veggie; it makes a great dinner (I make it a lot, but different versions of it). Fast. Stand-by. Pleases everyone. Versatile. From start to finish...about 45 mintues-1 hour to make this entire meal.
Here is what is on the Menu:
Chicken with glazed BBQ sauce and sauteed onions
Red baby Potatoes, baked with a chili herb blend
Blanched Broccoli with fresh mozzarella cheese
Tomato Basil Bruschetta with Artisan Bread
Tomato. Fresh Basil. Balsamic Vinegar. Such a great combo!
NOW (late summer) is the best time to make this appetizer/side dish. Everything in season. Fresh tomatoes. Yummmm Fresh Tomatoes. They are sweet when fully ripe.
This is not difficult at ALL to make. In fact, your friends will rave at the taste. BUT...the fresher the ingredients, the BETTER it will taste.
This was a favorite dish that I made for Mother's Day Dinner. Out of everything I made, this dish was my husband's favorite. It was even good the next day as leftovers.
Fresh Tomatoes. Fresh Mozzarella. Roasted to perfection.
What is it about some veggies that when you saute or roast them, the flavor changes and they taste delectable?! Especially onions and mushrooms. YUM.
This I know for sure: Tomatoes, Basil, Mozzarella and Balsamic Vinegar go VERY well together. Some food have a Ying and a Yang...well, for tomatoes this is IT.
