Snack Time: Tomato and Mozzerella Salad

This has been my snack of choice as of recently. Probably not as pretty as some of my past post, but sometimes ya just need a garden fresh tomato and mozzarella with fresh basil. Simple, light, refreshing, and filling.

Caprese Salad

Nothing says summer to me like fresh Caprese salad. Fresh tomatoes are one of my favorite parts of summer. I'm so happy to fresh tomatoes growing on my patio this summer - and that they are actually growing! I have several waiting to rippen and lots more buds ready to grow. I also have an eggplant, jalapenos, basil, thyme, cilantro and chives.





The best part of a Caprese salad is that they are so simple!

• Slice a fresh ripe tomato


• Sprinkle tomato with sea salt & pepper


• Top with slices of fresh mozzarella


• Drizzle with aged balsamic and a litte evoo


• Top with fresh basil from your garden


• Enjoy!

Garden Fresh

I came home from my work trip to find a delicious surprise in my garden.

Nine ripe tomatoes! Of course the only sensible thing to do was to make this!

Welcome to my recent breakfast, lunch and dinners. Yes, I eat tomatoes and fresh mozzarella for breakfast, along with just about anything else that isn't waffles, pancakes, cereal or eggs. I'm just not a breakfast fan!
