* 1 bay leaf
* ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

1. Preheat your oven or countertop oven to 400°F.
2. Place the garlic bulb in the center of a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the thyme and bay leaf on the bulb. Bring the sides of the foil together tightly, forming a pouch, and place on roasting pan or cookie sheet. Set the rack in the oven orcountertop oven to the lowest position.

* Roasted Garlic Butter (above)
* 1 French baguette
* 40 cherry or grape tomatoes
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon black pepper
* ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions for Bruschetta

1. While the Roasted Garlic Butter is roasting, cut the cherry or grape tomatoes in half and then in thirds. Place in a medium-sized bowl. Add olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and add fresh basil. Set aside.
2. When the Roasted Garlic Butter is ready, put it all together. Cut the baguette diagonally into ½-inch slices. Generously spread a layer of the garlic butter on one side of the slices. Move the oven rack to the middle position. Arrange butter side up in a single layer directly on the rack.
3. Bake until golden brown. Remove from oven and place a heaping tablespoon of tomato mixture onto each slice of toasted bread. Serve immediately.

  1. You had to look like you were eating, so you “slipped up” and ate 3 tomatoes so your mom would think you were eating?!
    Am I the only that finds this all a little disturbing???

  2. Tomatoes are in the group of foods that diabetics can eat as much of as they like and they have to be careful of carbohydrates, sodium (salt) and fats. So I don’t think you should be worrying about not going to bed so that they aren’t stored as fat.

    I also think you need to stop paying attention to any of these diets and just concentrate on eating sensible, healthy foods and getting exercise a few times a week. Go to websites maintained by government groups and hospitals for sensible advice.

    I don’t know how old you are but if you’re young enough to be concerned about what Mom might think, you’re probably also too young to need to diet unless the doctor has said you need to, in which case, you should be following his/her advice.
