How to make an appliqued tea towel

I don't know about you, but Jacinda and I have a thing for tea towels.

The ones in boutique gift shops are particularly irresistible  but their prices are always prohibitive.  I've seen individual tea towels for $12.95 in some shops.  Sorry folks, but I just can't spend that much on a kitchen towel.  The good news is, you can make your very own super cute and original tea towels for a fraction of the boutique price.

How to make Tomato Bread with Prosciutto

 from LouLou Sucre is back to share a yummy appetizer.

 

This is my "go-to" appetizer.  I love to make this if it's just my husband and I or if I'm having friends over for the evening.  You can make as many or a few as you like.  There are only a few ingredients and they are all things that are easily found in the local supermarket.  Also, it is super good. The grilled tomatoes take it to the next level--they become so sweet and bursting with flavor.
