Veggies and toast

Genavieve — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:19:27 +0000

I got the inspiration for this dish when I was in the mood for buttery toast.I know that sounds devilishly unhealthy, but I paired it with some awesome steamed veggies. I took a couple of thick slices of baguette tossed them in a pan with a couple pats of butter and toasted them on up. I topped it with a mix of chopped tomatoes, parsley and green onions. On the side I had a mix of mushrooms, broccoli, squash, carrots and chopped parsley. I chopped up a couple of lemons and and tossed them in the mix, I put all of this in some tin foil and stuck it in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins. This is the result!

I stopped into Zen 5 sushi for a quick snack and wasn’t in the mood for a roll so I opted for a sunomo salad. Surprised and the beautiful presentation and at only 6 bucks it was a very filling salad. Seaweed , octopus and sesame seeds all in a cute little martini glass.

Holidays are a great time to serve fun and interesting cheeses. Because I work at a wine shop and artisan cheese shop makes it easy for me to share my love of cheese and a bit of what I do for work.

A delicious Tuesday dinner. It was a movie night and I decided to make a little treat. I toasted a rosemary focaccia bread, added melted cheddar, pickles, chopped red onions and mustard all along with a semi-homemade black bean chili. Perfect!
