So when he decided to eat brown rice risotto with grilled vegetables, I knew what I am making for me. I had this beautiful focaccia bread in the house and love to use it and with grilled vegetables it was perfect pairing too. So just made this sun dried tomato tapenade and enjoy my dinner too. Everyone got to eat their favorite food and enjoyed our diner.

I like to enjoy food, only crying and screaming in the background.
