Mama needs a manicure!

Yup she does, and this is what I'm going to do! Found this on a cute beauty site made just recently by Lauren Conrad (The Hills). Maybe you mama's need some inspiration too!

Im ready for summer, and some good summer recipes!

Meanwhile I write this today as the forcast predicts 2-5 inches of snow! Its APRIL(yes APRIL) 19th and theres should be rain showers, not snow! So Ive just been pretending were already enjoying the summer heat and I've pulled out the grill and made my favorite summer recipes more than once this week! Most recently bruschetta. This recipe is so easy and quick, and I just cannot get enough! You'll need the following:
4-8(depending ont he size and the serving amount) Roma tomatos, diced
1 ball of fresh Mozzerella cheese, cut into small squares
2-4(more if you like!) fresh basil leaves
2-4 fresh garlic gloves
Balsamic Vinegar

Dice up the tomatos and cheese and toss into a bowl

Using kitchen sheers cut the fresh basil leaves into the bowl

Using a garlic press add fresh garlic to the mixture

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the mixture(start with a little! you can always add more.)

Toss the mixture in the bowl and then serve
As far as bread goes you can use whatever you would like! I usually buy baguettes and slice them, drizzle a little olive oil and bake! My kids don't like tomatos, but for whatever reason they love this! It gets better when it sits a few hours or even overnight in the fridge! Add some grilled steak, red wine and viola-dinner is served :) Thats what I love about summer- fresh, simple, delicious food! I'll be back with some more of my summer ideas! Hope you enjoy!!
