We All Scream for Ice Cream

Literally, my kids screamed the entire way to Wallingford. The cell phone was ringing off the hook (unreachable in the backseat of the car), Miss Hayden was whaling and Hudson had his hands over his ears. Priceless.

That said, we stumbled upon the most delicious ice cream at the Wallingford farmers market - strawberry rhubarb. We had to try an ice cream bar because it was double dipped in chocolate. We'll definitely return next week to try another one of Whidbey Island Ice Cream Company's yummy flavors. I have my eye on vanilla lavender.

We're back from vacation. We biked, boated, and ate well....

Good Food

Who knew adding cream cheese to bruschetta would be so good! Hudson calls these "appletizers"! We picked up a few of the tomatoes at Lake Cavanaugh Farms. They have the most delicious produce.

















Bruschetta
6 roma tomatoes or two large tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil, stems removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup reduced fat cream cheese
1 baguette

Preheat the oven on broiler setting.
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 20 minutes. Cut the baguette into 3/4-inch slices on the diagonal. Brush bread with olive oil. On a baking sheet, arrange the baguette slices in a single layer. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly brown. Smear each slice with cream cheese. Divide the tomato mixture evenly over the baguette slices.
