Well my friends yet another week is upon us, and I am trying to fill it with healthy meals.  Sometimes I fail (mmmmmmm bacon wrapped burgers) but this week is looking might fine if I may say so myself, and since it's my blog, well I can, you know say so myself.....

So enjoy your week, and please if you want to share your plans leave it in the comments section! I am always looking for inspiration!



Monday - Roasted chicken breasts topped with bruschetta and feta cheese (not topped for the minis)

Bruschetta

Ingredients

5 ripe tomatoes- any variety but plum or off the vine work best

1 medium sized red onion

1/2 cup roasted red peppers drained of oil

garlic use as much or as little to suit your taste

1/2 cup fresh basil chopped (or use a quarter as much dried)

a few teaspoons of salt (see explanation below)

a few tea spoons of sugar(see explanation below)

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup feta

Directions

Cut tomatoes and onions into a fine dice, put in bowl.  Chop red peppers into small dice, add to bowl.  Add garlic, start with a few teaspoons, the adjust to taste later.  Chop basil, or add to bowl.   Add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar.   Mix.   Add vinegar first, otherwise the oil will not let the vinegar coat the mixture.   Add oil, taste for seasoning- too salty add a little more sugar, too sweet add a little more salt.   Mix well and refrigerate for at least two hours (the longer the better)
