GCC Recipe Swap

Has anyone else been totally screwed up this week because 4th of July was on a Monday? I can't seem to quite figure out what day it is and what I'm supposed to be doing. Argh!

My daughter and I curled up in my bedroom recently and locked all the boys out while we re-watched Julie and Julia. How anybody can watch that show and NOT have crazy food cravings is beyond me. The thing that got us the most was the bruschetta that she made. So we quickly scoured through several recipes and came up with our own version. Enjoy!

Bruschetta

6 Roma tomatoes diced

2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 slices Italian bread, cut about 1 inch thick
8 slices mozzarella

Whisk together chopped garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil. When combined slowly drizzle in oil. Add tomatoes and let sit for 20 minutes at room temp. Meanwhile fry the bread in olive oil on both sides until golden brown. When the bread is fried rub each piece, on one side, with the whole garlic pieces. Place the bread on a cookie sheet and top with tomato mixture. Lay the cheese across the top and broil till the cheese melts
