Happy Halloween (enjoy the candy!) and watch out for the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! (Shout out to my sis Heather, who watches that Peanuts show every year!!! Happy Halloween H!!
Happy Halloween right back at you, sis, and to all the other Freshies out there! And yes, the Great Pumpkin is on TONIGHT (Thursday, 10/28, at 8pm…check your listings for channels, but usually it’s CBS or ABC)!
Oh, and if I can make a suggestion on the asparagus…
try coating it with a little olive oil, coriander, salt and pepper, and then pan roasting it. It’s so good!
This week’s bag ROCKED!!!
Oahu Fresh continually provides great tomatoes and fresh basil for a favorite recipe. Given to me several years ago, it continues to be a hit! Bruschetta:
1 lb ripe plum tomatoes (or whatever is in season) cored, seeded and chopped
1 c finely chopped celery (I usually cut this in half)
1/4 c chopped fresh basil (I usually add a little more)
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, mined
Enjoy!
that looks YUMMY Claire!! thank you 🙂
