It's our first day back from Las Vegas. It's hard to get back in the swing of things and it much easier to go pick up dinner and bring it home. Especially when you don't have any groceries. But we did the right thing, went to good old Freddy G's and picked up food.
Day 1/Monday: We made Tomato Panzanella with Ricotta, the recipe is from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Magazine, calories roughly about 550. Personally I love tomatoes and basil, so you really can't go wrong with this recipe. Both Nick and I aren't fans of ricotta, but after eating this meal we have changed our minds. Great dinner, for the summer, when it is hot and you want to sit outside. You can make the toasted bread in advance, so you can just throw everything together when you are ready. We made a slight change from the recipe, we upgraded our red wine vinegar to a Cabernet wine vinegar, it was super yummy. It's worth the extra money to get a good red wine vinegar.

The crunch of the bread added a nice texture w/ the tomatoes and cheese. The cheese, I found out the next day, is a MUST! Without cheese, it tastes too acidic.
ReplyDeleteWould definitely eat this again!
