Bruschetta for Me, Bruschetta for You! (and something else)

September 15, 2010 By Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free

Ack! Summer is getting away from me! Can you believe that next thursday is the first day of autumn?

I have been meaning to post this bruschetta recipe while the tomatoes are still in season. They are still in season, right?

(I really need a nice dining table to photograph my food on…)

Fresh Bruschetta

~This bruschetta goes perfectly on slices of toasted garlic bread (preferably whole-grain). I also like to top my crackers with this for a nice snack, and on my burgers or salads for a beautiful meal.

  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 2 green onions
  • one clove garlic
  • small bunch of fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

First, chop the tomatoes and onions into small pieces. Then mince the fresh basil and garlic. Add the vegetables and spices to the bowl, and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with olive oil. Give the bowl one more mix, and place in the fridge.

It is best that the bruschetta stay in the fridge, covered, for at least an hour. This way, the flavors can mingle together. Next step: enjoy!

Now, onto the Something Else.

Caitlin, from CSN, contacted me last week, and asked if I would like to host a giveaway for my viewers….but….I turned her down…

    Hi Alex – Savanna’s mom from tennis. I would love to particpate in your giveaway. I have included you on the blogroll at my blog. I’ll also mention your giveaway when I update my blog on Monday. Love what you’re doing here!

    September 15, 2010 at 11:40 am

    Oh gosh, this giveaway is AWESOME! I’m so excited!! I would either use for an immersion blender, some cute cutlery/bowls, a dehydrator or maybe a canvas painting for my room. 🙂

    Ooo Oooo! I wanna win! here’s entry number one…. One of my favorite things in this (edible) world is preserves. I almost doesn’t matter what kind but if pushed then blackberry or raspberry jam with as many seeds as you can get in the jar. Here’s an older post from my farm blog about last year’s new jam recipe…. a no refined sugar Sour Bramble Jam I developed for my husband.

    Entry number two, since you want them separate…. I subscribed the moment I read my first entry about the McDonald’s smoothie. You’re right at the top of my Google home page.

    • spoonfulofsugarfree says

      September 15, 2010 at 5:47 pm

      Ahhh! Thanks so much! You are too sweet 🙂

      P.S. the only reason I asked for them separate was because I use random.orgto pick a comment number as a winner 😛

  9. treespryte says

    September 15, 2010 at 11:53 am

    I wonder if I could parlay that $35 into one of those awesome, large, 3 bowl kitchen sinks…. would take some work on the man to justify it! … But that’s what I want.

  10. Kassi says

    September 15, 2010 at 3:14 pm

    I would probably put it toward a nice knife set!

    My fiance has always wanted a Le Creuset dutch oven but we never get one. He does have a birthday coming up so the gift card+birthday would be a great excuse to get one! 🙂

  14. Vanessa says

    September 15, 2010 at 4:42 pm

    I would use it to buy a good blender. I don’t have one and miss making yummy smoothies. Also, I’d buy a cute ice cream scooper. This giveaway is unbelievable!!!!

    September 15, 2010 at 5:51 pm

    Oh my gosh that burschetta looks so delicious! You have no idea how hungry I am, and still 3 hours from home. ARRRRGGGG! I ate the last of my neighbors giveaway tomato 2 days ago. I already miss summer. About 10 years ago I was visiting an aunt and uncle who lived on a small farm in Palisade, (mostly apricot trees and corn and alfalfa). My aunt is a master foodie with a generous garden of her own. We ate tomato at every meal and at the time I didn’t care for them. I ate them not wanting to appear ungrateful for all her work, and I was like, these are tomato? Never before did I eat such a wonderous food. Thanks for your recipes, you’re awesome.

  37. Healthy Coconut says

    September 16, 2010 at 11:32 pm
