Farmers Market Bruschetta

T O M A T O E S ! 

I was too lazy to make some pizza dough to put them on pizza, so I went with making Bruschetta. I found this recipe online and went to chopping. 

 First chop up 1 1/2 lbs. of tomatoes. 

Next add your garlic. Yes it is more than the 2 cloves the recipe states, but #1 the spicy garlic adds a nice kick #2 garlic contains three powerful compounds that help your body help and prevent infections. 

Next add in your oil, vinegar, Basil, salt & pepper. Yes I cheated & used the "tube 'o Basil". (It tastes just as good btw)

T A D A !! 

Bruschetta. 

Some serve on top of crunchy bread, I prefer chips.

Enjoy! 

Furlough Foodie - Guacamole & Spaghetti Squash

One of the perks of living in Southern California are the avocados. During late summer you can pick up 25 for $5.00 from fruit vendors on the corner. Now that fall is upon us you can still find a couple tasty avocados at the grocery store. This week they're on sale for .69 each. 

This meal is from a favorite blog of mine, Oh She Glows. I was checking out her seasonal recipes and stumbled upon this spaghetti squash recipe.

The government is still shut down, so this is the perfect meal for fall & inexpensive. 

You can find the recipe here.
