Big Strong Man has a garden. He is incredibly proud of it- as he should be. It has cost him time and sweat. His reward has been tomatoes larger than his fist and enough massive zucchini to make chocolate chip zucchini bread for our family multiple times, as well as 7 of our neighbors!
It also harvests basil, a gift from one of Zeplin's teachers. This incredible smelling herb is one of my favorites and is best served over roasted tomatoes with mozzarella- the real stuff is preferred, but truly any cheese can do.
My friend Dawn made these once upon a time and I have been fanatical about them ever since!
So simple but so ridiculously tasty- I can eat an entire tray like candy!

Roasted Tomatoes with Mozzarella and Basil (Last Meal Request)
Ingredients:
*Tomatoes, any will do, but I like mine big, so they are
like hearty sides or giant finger foods; sliced
* Cheese- fresh mozzarella is the best but we have literally
done this with just about whatever cheese we
have on hand and it is still delicious!
* Fresh Basil, chopped
*Olive Oil
Directions:
*Clean tomatoes and basil leaves. Slice tomatoes and place on cookie sheet. Add gallops of cheese to each slice, top with basil. Drizzle some olive oil over it all and bake about 15 minutes at 325 degrees. (Baking times may vary.) -Keep an eye on yours to make sure they don't get burnt, although I find slightly crispy to be its own type of yummy! Enjoy!
