Life is sticky... our insecurities, parenting, relationships, pursuing our dreams, finances, pressures, judgments… it's all very sticky. And so are some of my favorite foods! Let’s stop wasting time trying to make it all perfect, and instead, embrace the sticky chaos and still make something delicious out of it.
On this page, you’ll find some of my favorite recipes I make for my family and friends. My hope is that you will approach both life and cooking in the same way
Goat Cheese Bruschetta
Ingredients
4 medium to large tomatoes (approx. 1 ¼ lb)
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
¾ cup finely chopped strawberries
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp white sugar
Italian or French bread, sliced
4 oz Goat cheese
Olive oil (for bread)
Instructions
Cut tomatoes in half. Remove the seeds and any extra moisture. (This is an important step. It will ensure your Bruschetta doesn’t get too soggy.) Chop the tomatoes.
In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, garlic, basil, strawberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and sugar. Mix well, cover and refrigerate.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Brush bread slices with olive oil, and place on a large baking sheet. Toast in the oven for approximately 5 to 8 minutes, or until the bread just begins to turn golden brown.
Spread one side of each toast with goat cheese.
Using a slotted spoon to drain the liquid, spoon Bruschetta on the toasts.
Serve immediately.
Note: Wait to put the Bruschetta on the toasts until the very last minute otherwise the toasts will get soggy.
