now this little taco is sute and looks like he is a little sad? But you really cannot eat him as he is totally made of yarn...I just thought he was a cute one...And the picture below ...??? ...well speaks for itself I think. Someone needs to check their load a little more closely!!
Okay...some great summer classics to make for a picnic, or a summer get-to gether or maybe that Father's Day bar-b-que...
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
2 pints cherry tomatoes
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (NOT packaged)
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
16-oz. pkg. bacon, crisply cooked, drained, and crumbled
2 pints cherry tomatoes
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (NOT packaged)
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
16-oz. pkg. bacon, crisply cooked, drained, and crumbled
Preparation: Cut the top off each cherry tomato, and using a melon baller or a sharp knife, carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp. Place each tomato upside down on paper towel to drain.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stuff each cherry tomato with the bacon mixture. Chill in fridge for at least 2 hours to blend flavors. To serve, I like to line the serving tray with parsley to keep the little tomatoes from rolling around. It's very pretty too. Serves 8

Those tomatoes sound delish! I did receive the recipe box. It is very nice and sits on my fridge. I have a country kitchen so it goes nice. I have been meaning to do a blog post about it but have been so busy lately. Thank you very much for sending it.
That taco is too cute! I love amigarumi things!
