Garlic Breath.

This recipe is one I remember from the hundreds of family parties that my mother has spent slaving away cooking for.

She made this bruschetta that to me, seemed so amazing and delicious, I thought I could never replicate it.

I ruined many dinners scarfing down this bruschetta on toasted bread, and now I think it's time you did too.

Beware: those who don't love garlic as much as my italian family, make it with half the amount.

Ma's Bruschetta

You'll need:

About 7 good sized tomatoes, diced

8 garlic cloves, minced

1 large bunch of fresh basil, torn

1/2 cup olive oil

Fresh ground pepper and kosher salt to taste

Combine all ingredients, let sit for at least 1 hour before smothering into your face.

If they're around, heirloom tomatoes are beautiful and tasty in this- use them!

I've warned you! It's stupidly simple, but capable of ruining your date night. At lease they'll know you're a good cook!

A little tip from me to you:

Keep mints on hand for worry-free eating.

Thanks mom!
