No-cook meals
The Georgia summer is coming our way. So we decided to do antipasti and bruschetta for a couple of meals this week, on Monday and last night.
We rarely get deli meats, so it's kind of exotic for us. I just got a 1/4 pound or less of a few different meats (prosciutto, salami, pesto ham, etc.), some fresh mozarella, muenster cheese, olives, and marinated red bell pepper. I cut everything into small pieces, and tossed it onto a platter together.
Then I sliced some homemade bread into small thin pieces, and toasted it with some olive oil and garlic. I cheated with some already made bruschetta topping, but maybe when tomatoes get into season and I get some gumption up, I'll make some more.
It tasted really fresh, cool and bright. And was a great accompaniment to rewatching the Godfather movies. We're kind of going with an Italian theme these days, wondering whether we'll be able to take a trip to Italy in a few years.
On Tuesday night, I took some of the leftovers and made a tomato and mozzarella salad and a couple of panini sandwiches. And we still have a couple more meals that can emerge from the same ingredients--maybe chicken cordon bleu?

Gazpacho and quesadillas were a favorite Louisiana supper of mine. Sure, the q's needed cooking but were fast and easy.
