Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Brushetta with Goat Cheese, Roasted Tomato and Basil

On Christmas Eve every year we have an appetizer feast. My intention was to take pictures of everything made this year and post it with recipes. Fail. I did take pictures of one of the sides though:

INGREDIENTS

1 large red pepper
4 oz goat cheese, room temperature
country bread, sliced and toasted
16 basil leaves

.... so.... the title of the recipe pretty much spells it out....

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375. Put cut pepper in dish and char until skin is blackened. Remove from oven, cover in tinfoil and allow to steam 10 minutes. Peel skin and cut into slices.

Spread goat cheese on toasts. Place one pepper strip on each toast. Top with a basil leaf.

VERDICT

So simple even a caveman can do it. Unfortunately, not the most popular dish on Christmas Eve because there were much tastier things on the table. If I find them, I'll come back and edit this post to add them. Or, at the rate I'm going... I'll post them in time for next Christmas.
