I finally have some pictures of one of my cooking classes. My sister was in town to help me out with this one! It is always so much work to plan these, but I love sharing recipes and seeing other women get excited about cooking for their families.

Bruschetta with Feta Spread and Balsamic Glaze
Serves 12-15
Cheese
mixture:
6-8 ounces
good feta, crumbled
4 ounces
cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup good
olive oil
2
tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
salt and
freshly ground black pepper
-Place
the feta and cream cheese in bowl and mix with a spoon until the cheeses are
blended. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, ½- teaspoon salt, and ¼
teaspoon pepper and stir until smooth.
Tomato
mixture:
2 teaspoons
minced garlic (I prefer just one clove)
2
tablespoons good red wine vinegar
2 TBS
balsamic glaze (or balsamic vinegar)
2 pounds
ripe heirloom or cherry tomatoes, diced
3
tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves, plus extra for serving
-Combine
the garlic, vinegars, tomatoes and basil. Sprinkle with a little
salt and pepper.
Assembly:
30 diagonal baguette
slices, toasted
2
tablespoons toasted pine nuts
-To
assemble the crostini, spread each slice of bread with a generous amount of
whipped feta. With a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes on top. Put the crostini
on plates and scatter with the pine nuts. Sprinkle with extra basil, drizzle Trader Joes Balsamic Glaze on top and serve.
Roasted Vegetables
This
is a DELICIOUS vegetarian main dish, or you can use it as a side dish. We
eat a big bowl of this with a spinach smoothie. The purple potatoes really make the dish look colorful
and gourmet. Note, the smaller you cut the vegetables the faster they
will roast. This recipe is flexible when it comes to proportions and feel
free to experiment with your spices!
Cut a
medley of the following:
Purple
potatoes
Mini-creamer
fingerling potatoes
Zucchini
Bell peppers
onion
Cauliflower
Cherry
Tomatoes
Kale
Parsnips
-Pre-heat
oven to 425
-Chop the
veggies you are using into bite size pieces and place on 11x 17 cookie sheet.
-Drizzle
on some olive oil, season with salt/pepper, and other desired spices &
mix thoroughly
-Spice
ideas: Season with Tones Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning (from Sam's Club) or Italian
Seasoning or whatever seasoning you want! You can add a bit of
cayenne or red pepper flakes, fresh garlic, garlic powder, etc.
- Roast
for 15-25 minutes until veggies begin to brown around edges.
-Sprinkle
with some grated parmesan and toasted pine nuts and serve. What sends this over the top is to drizzle with Trader Joes Balsamic Glaze

salads, I like a LOT of toppings! I make
this salad all the time and it varies depending what I have in my fridge. Feel free to use ALL or just some of any of the
