Mid-week blues.😣😥

Baking is a definite stress buster. It lifts the spirits. ❤

A few stems of fresh vine cherry tomatoes and basil were looking for my attention, so I thought of baking focaccia for lunch. 🙂

Back from his trip, the man of the house wanted to take me out for lunch. He even promised to keep his phone on mute for sometime. 😂😉

So the foccacia had to wait.🙂

Will pair this wonderful bake with a salad or soup for dinner. ❤

I would love to share a few pics with you all.

Vine ripe cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, and rosemary focaccia bread. ❤

It's easy, fun, and really delicious. 😋
