Inspired by the Julie and Julia motion picture, here is a little twist on one of the most the delicious-looking recipes to grace the movie screen! Unless you and your guests are prepared to eat the bruschetta immediately, I suggest keeping the heirloom tomato mixture separate from the bread because it will become soggy. Serve the tomato mixture in one bowl and the bread on another serving platter. Be prepared to get a little messy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound small heirloom tomatoes , halved
- 0.25 cups chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons truffle-infused olive oil , such as Olevano
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil , or more as needed
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 French baguette , cut into 1-inch-thick slices
- 1 clove garlic , peeled and halved

-
1
Toss heirloom tomatoes with chopped basil, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet; add chopped garlic. Cook baguette slices until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Rub each side of the baguette with the halved garlic clove.
-
3
Spoon tomato mixture over the baguette slices.

Steamed Clams in Butter and Sake
This recipe is the best for seafood lovers. Clams are steamed with sake and mirin and a bit of butter and green onion in this Japanese-style preparation. My husband likes it so much.
Mom's Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread
This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.
California Roll
A California roll is a fresh take on traditional Japanese rice rolls. Filled with avocado, crab, and cucumber, it's fresh and crunchy and makes a filling meal. You can use real or imitation crab.
