I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Balsamic Cherry Tomato Salad

Are you being inundated with cherry tomatoes? I'm about to be. This one plant is growing like crazy! It's about 8 feet tall and growing!

 Looks like more cherry tomato recipes needed in the future, like this one...

Ingredients:

 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsps olive oil
2 oz feta
6-8 basil leaves
1/4 of a vidalia onion, thinly cut

 Toss the tomatoes with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Let stand 30 minutes.

Strain any juices out into a sauce pan, pressing gently. Add the balsamic, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat up and simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce and slightly thicken. Remove from heat and stir in the olive oil.

 Toss the tomatoes and onions with the dressing while still warm.

 Serve at room temperature topped with feta and fresh basil.

Serves 2
