weekend easys
Weekends can go either way with me, I can sometimes go way over the top or I can fall back on what comes easy. Lately I have been busy with being busy and its the kind of busy that creates future busy so it is necessary.
After spending a nice afternoon at the farmers market enjoying all of the late summer produce, the artisan cheeses, the wines and baked goods it woke me up a bit. This time of year you get all the tomato varieties all piled up and ready to be chosen.
I went ahead and picked up a few orange tomatoes and some purple basil and then stopped at the cheese and sausage place to pick up a fresh and warm mozzarella to put this ensalata caprese together.
A few cheesy sliders cant possibly be a bad idea especially when you have a fresh baked baguette and some fantastic grass fed beef, not to mention the delicious field tomatoes. Simple standbys are often just what the doctor ordered.

I think that if it has fresh tomatoes, it's almost guaranteed to be what I ordered; the doctor's opinion be damned!
Hiya!!!
I love tomatoes!! The more the merrier! BTW...great photos! I'm hungry now and I just ate dinner! haa haa!
Your mojo's coming back!! I was reading all your posts. A trip to the Farmer's Market sure is a good place for inspiration. This all looks delicious!!!
I love a fresh tomato. That slider is so tempting with the cheesy goodness teasing me.
Slide that slider over here!
How pretty...that twisted caprese salad!! Gorgeous :D And yeah, the slider is totally mouthwatering!
A farmers market is always an inspiration! We don't have such a thing close by where I live, but when we go to England we always go to the market just to see, smell, buy something and listen to them shout out their offers! If I had one close, I'd be a regular costumer!
Oh wow everything looks so incredibly delicious, i love weekends!
Purple Basil? Does it taste like the green Basil? everything looks good!
A hamburger on a superior quality fresh roll or bun, really elevates it!
