Three new recipes for the keepers file

We had steady rain all day on the 4th, picnic postponed until later today. So what’s a girl to do? COOK! I tried three new things and all came out terrific. They are also easy to prepare and not horrible for your health either.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries… buy some good sized strawberries.. wash and dry. For the red white and blues…. Melt white chocolate and dip strawberries in melted white chocolate, then dip in blue sugar sprinkles. Place on wax paper till dry and chocolate has hardened again. place on decorative plate and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve. This is a fun project to do with kids as long as you supervise the melting of the chocolate.

These tomatoes are absolutely delicious and good for you too. Marinate sliced tomatoes with balsamic vinegar for 4-6 hours. Bake at 350 for about 7 minutes or a little tender. (I skipped that step and they were fine). Meanwhile, sauté spinach and garlic with a dash of salt. Put spinach on top of tomatoes and sprinkle with cheese of your choice (I used fresh mozzerella) and broil til cheese is golden!..just about five -7 minutes at most. Delicious!!
