You can call me Martha

No, really you can call me Martha Stewart because I recently made a FANTASTIC recipe of hers I saw her cook on the TODAY show the other morning.

The recipe is as follows:
Ingredients


All-purpose flower, for rolling
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 1/2 ounces grated sharp white cheddar (2/3 cup packed)
3 medium tomatoes, cut into ten 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Ground pepper
1/3 cup small basil leaves, for serving

Preparation
Active time: 15 min
Total time: 40 min + cooling
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and middle thirds. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out puff pastry to a 14-by-16-inch rectangle. With a 4-inch cookie cutter, cut out 10 rounds and transfer to two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets; with a fork, prick each round all over. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cheese on each, leaving a ¼-inch border, and top with 1 tomato slice. Brush with oil and season with pepper.

Bake until pastry is deep golden at edges, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let tartlets cool completely on a wire rack. (Store between layers of parchment in an airtight container, up to one day.) To serve, top with basil.

Ta-da

Perfect for a summer meal with a salad and of course a glass of vino!

Also, we recently returned from a week at my in-laws in CT.  It was miss C's first plane ride and she did nothing short of fabulous - thank God.  We had a great time spending time with family and friends but it's always nice to be back in your own home, in your own bed, and back in your daily routine. 



Eeek we look horrid, oh well had to capture the first plane ride
