Bruschetta!!  Generally I like to pass along my tried and true faves, but I'm pretty sure this will BECOME a favorite - just as soon as I get a chance to try it!  A friend introduced me to Costco's Bruschetta, so I was pretty excited when another friend found this recipe for me:)  

3 cups chopped, peeled Italian plum tomatoes

2 large cloves garlic, minced

2 shallots, minced

1 cup chopped fresh basil

1 tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 tsp. lemon juice

1/2 tsp. pickling salt

1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper

2 green onions, minced

3 tbsp. tomato paste

 

The bruschetta I had was fresh, but they offer the canning instructions:  Combine tomatoes, garlic, shallots, basil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a stainless steel saucepan.  Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Stir in green onion, tomato paste and return to a boil.  Remove hot jars from canner, and ladle salsa into jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space.  Process 20 minutes for half pint jars.

FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS...

Chili Rellenos 

Here is a very simple, very tasty, low carb recipe I've recently adopted, that has been a hit with those I've tried it on...  In fact, I just made it this morning for a group of real estate agents for an All Office Tour - along with sausage and fruit. 


It is one that isn't exactly the same every time, but here is the general idea, and how I did it this morning:)  Butter a 13 X 9 inch baking pan, sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, then a layer of canned chilis (sliced in half, seeds removed).  Beat about 10 eggs with "some" (maybe 1/2 cup) cream and pour over chilis.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done - top with shredded pepper jack cheese - and melt, of course:)
