I made this for lunch on our "snow" day when Colin and I were stuck inside all day. I'm so glad I happened to have all the ingredients on hand because this was soooo good and the perfect warm and cozy (but easy!) meal!
Tuscany Bread
1 small loaf French baguette
Pesto
Couple of handfuls of fresh spinach
4-8 mozzarella slices, just enough to cover the bread
1 small tomato, diced
A few lemon wedges
Heat oven to 375. Brown baguette until the outside is crusty (about 5-8 minutes). Halve bread lengthwise and spread pesto on the cut sides. Add spinach leaves, a few tomatoes and then the cheese. Sprinkle a few more tomatoes on top of the cheese. Place under a broiler until cheese is melted and starting to brown. Remove from oven and cut into pieces. Serve with lemon wedges.
"Cheater's" Cream of Tomato Soup
Fresh herbs of choice (I used basil)
Butter
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 cups water
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of nutmeg
Saute fresh herbs in butter. Add all other ingredients. Simmer for 5 minutes and that's it--couldn't be easier!
