Fresh Garden Brushetta, Lasagna, and Salad






Using ingredients from the garden, fresh tomatoes from my parents garden and fresh basil from my own garden, I diced tomatoes, cut (chiffonade) basil, added garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, and Parmesan cheese.  Mixed all the ingredients and let them chill in the fridge for about 30 min while the slices of bread baked in the oven at 350 deg.  Served the baked bread slices with the bruschetta, use spoons for scooping.

My lasagna recipe is simple.  Use a standard homemade spaghetti sauce recipe (one pound of meat; turkey, beef, or pork, onion, cans of tomato sauce, crushed, and/or paste, simmer for 1 hour).  Layer in a lasagna pan the dry noodles (wheat or white), sauce (enough to cover), cheese (mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, cottage, and/or Parmesan).  I usually do 3-4 layers.  Cover with foil, bake for an hour in the oven.  Take off foil, and let bake until golden brown and bubbly.
