A simple and colorful appetizer, this roasted vegetable bruschetta has roasted zucchini that is flavored with herbes de provence and layered with tangy goat cheese.
A roasted vegetable bruschetta with zucchini is as simple and delicious as it gets. I was going to add roasted cherry tomatoes as well, but I thought the yellow and green was just so pretty.
I sprinkled herbes de provence over the vegetables and whipped up a combination of cream cheese and goat cheese laced with lemon zest.
This is such an easy appetizer and perfect for using all the gorgeous seasonal produce that is starting to bloom.

The doctor recommended that I eat a Mediterranean Diet because of some health issues, but I have found it hard to know what to eat. I have increased my intake of vegetables and fruits and try to include them into dishes I already make while at the same time decreasing my intake of meat. A book would be helpful so I could follow the recipes.
I do enjoy reading about Oldways and have just found their website this past year. Would love to have a cookbook from them!
Italian foods: very little meat, lots of veggies, fish, olive oil. Ravioli is served en brodo, not with a lot of sauce. Think their flour is different from ours, so that may make a difference in carbs. And they have a social aspect to their meals that we sometimes lack.
I could eat a lunch of feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, on crackers every day. I love all Mediterranean foods.
I am just learning about this parfticular diet and find it fascinating. I love many of the items (i.e., veggies) that are included and would like to find out more about it from this book!
I know a little about this diet and was actually tending to eat more in that direction anyway – being able to have the cookbook would be a great help in that.
