Hey, Guys
How are you today?
I’ve been very busy these past few days because I am on vacation enjoying my city with my husband and guests from Brazilian. We have visited so many tourist points in the city that I was thinking I am ready to apply for a job as a tourist guide in the city of Toronto … just kidding! Although I have visited these places so many times before, I still enjoyed going there because I love Toronto and everything it has to offer.
Today, I’m sharing with you an easy and quick recipe to serve to your guests when you don’t have much time to cook, but you still want to offer something elegant and tasty. This Polenta with Tomato Sauce, Balsamic Onions, and Feta is a great appetizer option, especially because you probably have all the ingredients on hand. I really hope you enjoy it.
