I am one who loves the simple things, a nice day, a good tune, delicious farm fresh food, a good book & a nice bike ride or run.. All of which happened today for that I am thankful.. I decided to try a little combination of food that I bought at the Health Market I work at. I have thought about calling them Basil bites, before you think Gross, basil really? Try it!
All you will need is some cherry tomatoes or any kind of tomatoes really, some good cheese(splurge a little, I promise that it's worth it), and some fresh un-dried basil.
I used tomatoes that are called Golden Nuggets,
I also bought Raw, Garlic Chive Cheddar Cheese which is from Wisconsin.
I picked out the largest basil leaves, and than sliced the tomatoes into two pieces, and cut the cheese into small cubes.
After laying the basil leaves upside down(it should look like the bottom of a boat), I placed one of the cheese cubed on the bottom of the basil, putting a slice of the tomato on top of the cheese & topping that with another piece of basil so that it would look as if it was a wrap.
Than I baked them at 350 degrees until the cheese melted(about 5 minutes), perfect time to cut up a organic watermelon or any other kind of fruit, maybe now you will know what I had as fruit for dinner! Ha.
They may look a little funky but I guarantee the taste makes up for their looks!
After it gets done baking you will want it to sit for 30 seconds to cool off a bit. Enjoy, I must warn you, it is delicious!!!
