Combining the goodness of sourdough, balsamic bruschetta and pizza for a mouth watering snack!
This years garden yielded a ton of tomatoes that I didn’t know what to do with. To be honest, I’m not a tomato lover! It wasn’t until I read Bailey from Tribe Van Tassels blog post Tomatoes for People Who Hate Tomatoes aka Bruschetta For Non-Believers, that I decided to give tomatoes a chance.
I paired the bruschetta with my sourdough pizza crust, because I knew I couldn’t go wrong with a natural sourdough taste. After a quick walk through the garden collecting tomatoes. I can make this snack in about 10 minutes.

It’s amazing what a little sautéing can do to tomatoes! Bailey you have converted this tomato hater, into a bruschetta lover! Now to try it with pasta..
Our cast iron set is one of our most used kitchen essentials because of how easy they are too clean, not to mention the health benefits. I love this set because it comes with a variety of different pots, pans, skillets and a griddle.
I love using the dutch oven for soups or sourdough bread making. Our skillet is probably the most used, with breakfast, lunch and dinners throughout the week. My flat skillet cooks up our pancakes and English muffins. While the griddle is great for burgers, steaks and grilled sandwiches.
