Recipe of the Week ( Garlic and tomatoes with basil in canola oil)

It is a famous recipe for being simple and easy to make this is my version of Garlic and Tomatoes in Olive Oil. Since olive oil in my country (Philippines) is somewhat expensive i substitute it with canola oil...



This one of the basil plant my sister is growing and i've already used some of its leaves in my cooking..
