Baked Tomato Feta Basil Dinner

The tomatoes, garlic and basil cold come fresh from my garden...and I’m up for that to happen as soon as they’re ripe and ready to roll which is later this summer.  Until then, I’ll have to satisfy myself with this fragrant, flavorful tomato feta dish.  This one had no leftovers - guaranteed when I fixed it this last weekend. 

4 c. flavorful tomatoes - heirloom, cherry, or fresh from your garden, chopped

2 c. feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 c. oil

dash salt/ground pepper

2 t. garlic, minced

1/2 c. basil, fresh, ribbon cut using kitchen scissors to speed process

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large baking dish, toss together all ingredients.  Bake 30 - 40 min.  Serve up immediately on a bed of steaming hot brown rice or not to save carbs - your choice.

When I’m not serving up steaming hot vegetables to my family, I’m sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads . 

Or I’m merrily working upcycled yarns into knitted cowls for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew colorful stretch knit leggings in size x small to 2X. 

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she pairs colors and textures to hand knit into lovely striped afghans to curl up into.
