Simple Bruschetta

It is hot. Too hot. Triple digits is just not cool. We should have listened to all the global warming hype and prepared ourselves for this. Why don't I just stay inside, you ask? Of course I would LOVE to stay inside our air conditioned home for the rest of the day, but being the active young lass that I am, I've got a volleyball match tonight and directly after that I have to play in a softball tournament! Yeah... I'm a glutton for punishment. All I can say is that I'm filling up my gallon jug full of water and praying that it'll keep me from passing out.

Anyway, now that I've vented my frustration with the heat wave we're having, I'll get to the recipe.

I've stressed this numerous times, but simplicity = bliss. The simple things in life are most often the best and that's exactly why I love bruschetta. With simple ingredients like tomatoes, basil, and olive oil... you can whip up a quick and simple bruschetta any day of the week.


Ingredients:

1 Large tomato, diced
about 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
toasted hamburger buns (you can tell I was raiding my pantry again)

In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Serve over sliced toasted bread (you can definitely do something other than hamburger buns, but that was the only bread product I had).

See... simplicity at it's finest. Enjoy!
