Summer is almost here…let the mozzarella and tomato begin!

  I can’t tell you how much I look forward to summer, but not in the way you would expect.  Sure, I like sunshine and vacations, but its the tomato and mozzarella all summer long that I live for.  Call me simple, but NOTHING beats fresh sliced tomatoes (room temp) with mozzarella and basil.  MakeContinue reading “Summer is almost here…let the mozzarella and tomato begin!”
