My Creation for Nosh

[rebbetzin]

I had some fresh Mozzarella in the fridge, so I bought a couple nice tomatoes, and picked a bunch of Basil from my garden and Voila, I made this...

The little white flowers are from Garlic Chives that are blooming in the garden now. I infused some Olive Oil with garlic, fresh rosemary and oregano to use as a dressing. It was a great hit at the congregation today. This week I will make more Pesto since I have so much Basil. About three weeks ago I cut back all the basil plants and made about three pints of pesto. All the plants are ready to cut back again! This has been a good year for Basil!

If you are wondering why I don't have my own tomatoes, well, I have never been able to grow decent tomatoes. Well, take that back, I can grow the small yellow pear tomatoes here. But it is just TOO HOT here, and the poor tomatoes split and and get horrible looking this time of year.

Looks Great!!!! I always make this every now and then, its simple but satisfying.

I can't grow basil for the life of me. I had three plants this year than just don't make it. I thought it was getting too much sun but then I researched that it love sun so now I am out of ideas. I did love what I got though

Beautiful loking plate of food Rebbetzim

Do you put capers on your "Caprese" HiDelight? If not try it as it just adds that slight sourness which gives it the edge.

Have a good week everyone -- it's a Bank Holiday here today !
