Bruschetta Topped with Herbed Goat Cheese and Tomatoes

The foods, I have discovered in recent years, have become staples, in our home.  I love goat cheese.  My favorite is one that comes with cranberries and pecans.  I spread that on a cracker and it is the best.  For this recipe, I used an herbed goat cheese that is also special.

I served this with romaine lettuce and a special dressing.  This is a perfect brunch or lunch dish and for hubby and I, it makes a light supper.

Bruschetta Topped with Herbed Goat Cheese and Tomatoes (adapted)


  • 2 medium, ripe peeled tomatoes, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices gluten-free bread
  • 6 ounces herbed goat cheese (3/4 cup)

Place the tomatoes, , olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gently mix together and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Toast the bread on both sides until light brown. 

Spread each slice of toast with 1 tablespoon of goat cheese. Drain the chopped tomato mixture a little using a perforated spoon and top the goat cheese with it.

Garnish each bruschetta with a basil and serve on a large platter.

Makes 6 bruschettas

    Oh I adore goat cheese too, Chaya! I have a block at home right now and I've been doling it out sparingly in such yummy things. :-)

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
