We were so tired from our long $11 shopping spree (HOW TO SAVE MONEY: TEACH KIDS THE VALUE OF HARD WORK ) and the family is still full from the big brunch yesterday (GAME HENS WITH POMEGRANATE: Beccazini alla Melagrana and MAC AND CHEESE) so we decided to take it light for dinner and just feast on focaccia bread dipped in olive oil/ balsamic vinegar and cheese on the side.
Hmmm...I love the smell of home made bread with rosemary in the kitchen.....

1/4 cup mozzarella
1 1/2 tbsp dried rosemary
