Focaccia, baked homemade dough topped with an array of fresh chopped herbs and plum tomatoes, can be an appetizer or, in my case a fantastic light lunch with a salad and glass of red wine. The dough is all made from scratch, baked, and topped with the freshest ingredients that we grew up on in our Italian home back in the late 1960s. The toppings that can be added to this style of focaccia are unlimited, and adapting to taste can make a new and creative focaccia every time you make this.

Back then, these economical ice cream sandwiches saved the day when we heard that ice cream truck passing by and couldn't afford to buy those treats daily. Mom would get very creative, making us homemade treats using any leftover baked goods, cookies, donuts, pancakes, and breakfast waffles.
