We are a busy family, but when we get a free Saturday morning, one of the things we love to do is go to the local Farmer’s Market. There is nothing better than making a meal with fresh food!

Right now Florida Tomatoes are in season and they are one of our favorite foods. They are great for lots of different types of recipes and my kids love the little grape tomatoes in their lunches.  Also, since I try to prepare at least one meatless meal each week, because it is both good for our health as well as better for the environment,  pasta is typically “go to” dinner option on those nights.

Now, I know mentioned earlier we’re a pretty busy family.  So, while I like to cook with fresh food, I also need it to be fairly easy and fast.  This is why at least once a month I love to pull together this Bruschetta Pasta Recipe.  To be honest, I could probably get away with making it once a week, it’s that good!

Plus, I’ll often double the recipe, because it is just as good (maybe better) cold as it is when first prepared. This way we can have it for lunch somedays or even as a leftover meal later in the week. Alright so, first you want to star with some of those gorgeous little grape tomatoes you can get at your farmer’s market or at the grocery store.

Along with the tomatoes, here are the other ingredients you will need:

Bruschetta Pasta Recipe Fresh From Florida. sunshineandhurricanes.com

 

2 containersFresh From Florida grape tomatoes
1 box penne pasta
3 cloves garlic
1 small or 1/2 a large red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp olive oil

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions and while it’s cooking you can get the other ingredients ready. You’ll want to mine the 3 cloves of garlic, dice up the onion as finely as possible, and then chop the tomatoes and the basil.

Heat the 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan and then add the garlic and onion. Cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes until the onion is changing color. Add the tomatoes and cooke another five minutes. Finally add the basil and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.

Once the tomato mixture is done, combine with the cooked and drained pasta and serve warm or place in the refrigerator to chill and serve later. It tastes amazing both ways!

    I LOVE bruschetta! When I was in Italy I took a food tour where they taught us how to make bruschetta with all Italian fresh ingredients! I had never had something so tasty. Apparently us Americans pronoun it wrong, so that was interesting to learn. i’ll definitely have to give your recipe a try!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
