Last weekend I was at a blogger breakfast and tried a couple dished that were prepared by Jean and Kip from Global Spoon. They brought a cauliflower quiche and a roasted bell pepper tarte for the bloggers to try. When I got home and thought about the two recipes I had tried, the tart inspired me to make my own version…

Since I had some Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes to try, I thought they would be perfect to go into a Tomato Basil Tart.

Now making a Tomato Basil Tart is really especially, especially with the tomatoes already ready to use. First you will cook the pie crust according to directions on package. Next when it comes out of the oven, sprinkle 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese and allow to slightly melt. Add a layer of fresh basil leaves then top with a layer of the Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes. I chose to go with the Zesty Peppers flavor which isn’t to hot once they are cooked.

You will then want to have a mixture made up of 1/2 cup mayo, 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, 1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 TBS minced garlic. Once you have that mixed up well you will want to spread the mixture on top.

Put in oven and bake at 375° for 20-22 minutes or until browned.

Allow to cool, slice and enjoy! This is a recipe that I enjoyed and plan on making again, maybe with an addition of roasted bell peppers too!

When it comes to food, one of my favorites is Mexican food. Every week you will find me making either tacos, burritos or enchiladas for dinner. I love sour cream and guacamole and those two with Mexican food is magical! In celebration of Cinco De Mayo and my love for Mexican food, I thought I would share with you some delicious recipes I am thinking about making on Monday.

When it comes to enchiladas, even though I like both flour and corn, I mostly make them with corn tortillas. How about some enchiladas with chili? Sounds good to me. I definitely want to try these Tex-Mex Cheese Enchiladas.

I often use ground beef but there are days when I enjoy using ground turkey too! For those that prefer to use ground turkey, here is a yummy recipe for Turkey Taco Bites I want to try.

When I am eating out something I like to order is carnitas. It is something I don’t cook often at home but something I like to eat. For those that want to make carnitas just like Chipotle, here is a Chipotle’s Pork Carnitas Copycat Recipe that you can make in your crockpot.

I have only had fish tacos a couple times and really liked them. I even had a lobster taco this year. Anyhow I also recently found that I enjoy fruit based salsa. Here is a recipe I want to try for Fish Tacos With Mango Salsa and Lime Cream.

Another food I enjoy is ribs. I normally like them soaked in BBQ sauce off a grill but these Rosemary & Chimichurri Ribs look amazing!

These are just five recipes that I am thinking of trying. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this Cinco De Mayo Recipe Roundup….

Which of these five yummy dishes would you want to try?
