Post-Holiday Blues

Tonights Menu:

Baked Tomato Parmesan and a Frozen Bellini

So after a week of holiday carb-loading I needed something light but still tasty for dinner. I also wanted to replicate a fantastic cocktail I had on the 4th. Here's what happened:

Baked Tomato Parmesan:

Ingredients:

1 tomato

1/4 c. of Parmesan

Dried Oregano

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 450. Cut your tomatoes in half lengthwise and using a paper towel, get rid of most of the juice. Place it on a foil-lined pan. Stuff it with a good amount of parmesan cheese. Sprinkle oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder on top. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until the tomato is tender. Once you pull it out of the oven sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top and more balsamic to taste. Enjoy!

Frozen Bellini:

1 oz. Vodka

1 oz. Peach Schnapps

1 oz. Pineapple Juice

2 cups ice

Champagne or Prosecco

Directions:

Blend the vodka, peach schnapps, ice and pineapple juice together. Pour into glass about 3/4 full then add champagne to the top.

P.S. I ate the tomato before I could take a picture but it was delicious :)
