Bruschetta, Shrimp and Green Beans

The bruschetta actually started out as pico de gallo for tacos I had made the other night, but I had so much left over that I decided to make it into bruschetta. Basically cut bread into small slices, added a little bit of olive oil to the tops and baked for a few minutes until slightly browned.

The topping consists of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and garlic salt.

Together they are quite tasty :)

Next I made green beans with toasted almonds. First add a little bit of oil and add slivers of almond. You only need to leave them in for about 1 minute until they are browned. In my case, I left them in too long until they became blackened shards! The green beans were stir-fried in oil and lightly salted then mixed with the almonds.

Last was the shrimp stir-fried in a lemon, parsley, white wine, honey sauce that I completely improvised. Still need to work out the balance of components, but I would leave out the honey and use fresh lemon next time.

All in all though, the meal tasted pretty good. This is the final dish:
