Short Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat

This message was sent to me by a lady who has and says she loves my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat.? All of us have shelves of cookbooks we never open–one really practical (and delicious) cookbook with no-fail recipes is what we need (and what you offer In Laugh, Stir, Repeat). Mary Kennedy

Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Stacks

Celebrate summer with this beautiful and delicious salad! Last Friday night we had friends over to grill, swim and unwind after the week. My friend Betsy made this salad for us and it went perfectly with our burgers. I am hoping to make it again later this summer with my own garden tomatoes! Thank you Betsy, it was fun (and delicious!)! Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Stacks 12 fresh basil leaves 4 medium-sized vine-ripened tomatoes 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper extra-virgin olive oil balsamic vinegar To julienne basil leaves: Stack basil leaves and roll tightly into a cigar type roll. Slice into thin ribbons. Cut tomatoes and mozzarella into 1/4″ thick slices. Arrange tomato and mozzarella slices into stacks of alternating layers. Sprinkle julienned basil and sea salt over each stack. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over each stack and serve immediately. Enjoy your long July 4th weekend! We are headed to Pensacola to visit family…will be back next week!

TWD: Beautiful Biscotti, Baby!

Tuesday is here again, my friends. (I hope I am NOT turning into John McCain…) And this day truly solidifies the whole reason why I love Dorie Greenspan and her fab book, “Baking, From My Home To Yours” and Tuesdays With Dorie. Easy and delicious recipes, kiddos! This week’s wonderful selection was chosen by our host, Gretchen of Canela & Comino who picked the Lenox Almond Biscotti on page
