Pizza with 'cherry' on top!

Grow your own food, leave out what isn’t necessary and enjoy what you have…….this is all that comes to my mind when I think about this pizza. May not be the best pizza in the world….but pure joy for the eyes…. who wouldn’t get excited about all those tiny little warm flavorful cherry tomatoes – coated with a mix of herbs , thyme, rosemary and oregano in extra virgin olive oil, some olives, the bubbly melting cheese, the crispy crust…… It takes such a little effort and no fancy gear, but the reward is so huge. A simple yummy food!

It was a very long wait for my tiny lil girl who planted sometime in early May, the seeds of cherry tomatoes in all the colors she could find….. golden, orange and red! Everyday thereafter was exciting in her life. She gave them a lot of water, sunshine and indeed a lot of love – exactly what they told her to do in one of her favorite shows, “The Little Einsteins”. She watered them so gently, tied each new branch to the support, counted the flowers and then the fruits every single day; some times once in the morning and again in the evening. And finally…. finally here comes the day, when so many of her cherry tomatoes are juicy and colorful and so ready to be picked. With her big brother’s help she collected as many as she could… the rest… do I need to say?
