Eat This: Rosemary Oregano Parmesan Focaccia



Impossible not to cut a piece to taste.
I love focaccia.  I bought a loaf last week from a local grocery. It was delicious, creamy with Parmesan.  I wanted to try that myself and this was the result.  I added herbs fresh from my backyard, rosemary and oregano along with shaved parmesan.  Oh yeah. Delicious.  Just try to make at least two loaves because one?  Like eating one potato chip. Not happening.

Good Eats: Caprese Reimagined

My favorite warm weather salad is the classic Caprese.  Vine ripened tomatoes, Buffalo mozzarella, basil and EVOO.  Instead of the usual "stack it up and tear it down" variety ..

Classic Caprese Salad

... I like to do a "put it all in a bowl" variety.  I dice up the tomatoes and mozzarella, roll up the basil and cut in "chiffonade"  - long thin strips.  I added some fresh oregano from the backyard planters where the basil came from, some roasted garlic grey salt I buy from NapaStyle.com, throw in some EVOO and black pepper... delicious.
