Caprese Skewers & Tomato Sandwich

Being overrun with delicious tomatoes of all varieties, I found this recipe for caprese skewers. I marinated the mozarella bites in a vinaigrette and then alternated them with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Knowing that wouldn't be enough for us, we also made a tomato, lettuce, mozarella sandwich on locally made sourdough bread. The skewers came out great and the sandwich was already a staple here with all our great tomatoes.

Wow, It's been awhile!

Sorry I am so out of date on this blog. I have other entries I need to go back and add in. I will make an effort to do so in the near future.
Ta!

Salad

We were supposed to make A Big Tomato Sandwich but when we went to make it, the bread had gone bad. So we improvised since I had already roasted the bell pepper. I made an impromptu caprese type salad with the pepper, heirloom & cherry tomatoes, basil and a herb vinaigrette. Even though it wasn't what we originally planned, it was still mighty good!

Produce

Some of the pretty, delicious produce we received; summer squash, a cucumber and some cherry tomatoes.

Vanilla Ice Cream with Fresh Blueberries

A tasty (somewhat naughty) sweet snack.

Quinoa salad

This dish had quinoa, corn, pine nuts, zucchini, green onions, basil & mint in it. I don't think we cared for it very much. It was lacking something if I remember correctly. Oh well, can't win them all!

Medley of Greens with Potatoes & Onions

We didn't have any leeks on hand so I made this dish again using just regular onions. Not nearly a tasty as with the leeks I must say.

Veggie Omelet

Again, I can't recall where this recipe came from but it was delicious. It was a large omelet I cut in two for us. The veggies appear to be broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini & onion. Probably some garlic in their too. The sauce on top is a delicious smokey chipotle hot sauce I had picked up at a tradeshow. A great way to start the day!
