Ingredients:

• 1 container cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• Feta cheese
• 1 shallot, roughly chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and shallot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and show slight color.
4. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
5. Transfer the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and shallot to a blender or food processor. Add the chopped basil leaves and blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
6. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve the fresh tomato pasta sauce over your favorite cooked pasta. Top with crumbled feta cheese for added flavor. Serve with garlic bread.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and browned.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
7. Serve the chicken and broccoli stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
