Simple Bruschetta & The Toasted Triple B

anyone who knows me knows this fact to be true.
Luckily I married an appetizer guy.
Many nights instead of making full dinners,
 we just make a bunch of apps, maybe some wine & have a little picnic.
This became a frequent event right from the beginning of our relationship,
we are “picnic people.”
We have them inside and out
&
 when the little ones came, they joined in too and they love it!
My son, who is 7 likes to have them inside especially,
in the cold winter months by the fire.
He is an old soul & I think it’s adorable that he likes them too.
So… that leads me to this post.
I collect recipes, especially tappas recipes.
There are a few that I absolutely love in the summer time.
This is one of them,
“Simple Bruschetta.”
It is sooo easy & versatile,
we eat it on tortillas, pita chips, crackers,
grilled sliced french bread & mozzarella,
really anything I have in my pantry.
 

Simple Bruschetta

3 medium chopped tomatoes
3-4 garlic cloves pressed & chopped
2 lemons squeezed, remove seeds
4tbs olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
tsp fresh parsley
4-5  fresh mint leaves chopped
6-7 fresh basil leaves chopped
On to my newest food invention/addiction.
The Toasted Triple B
on French Bread
Looks yummy right, it taste even yummier:)!
Start with your french bread/baguette, slice it.
Layer olive oil mayo & sprinkle blue cheese
(a good amount)on both sides.
Next, add the bruschetta then layer the crispy bacon
(you can go without the bacon, it is just as good.)
Sprinkle fresh chopped basil & close.
Wrap in foil & bake @ 350 for a few.
Enjoy!!!!
BTW-husbands like it too:)

Avocado Tortellini Salad with Fresh Vegetables + Garden Sage

One of my favorite early–June blooms is garden sage. Her grey-green, fuzzy, oblong leaves and woody stems stand two-feet tall with lavender-colored flowers that the resident bees just loooove. If you fancy yourself an edible garden, sage is a pretty perennial “subshrub” I’d highly recommend.
With sage blooms come all the feels of summer. Independence Day is just around the bend and, girl, you know the gatherings are soon to roll in—picnics, potlucks and barbecues, OH MY!
What shall you bring?! Look no more. This avocado tortellini salad with fresh vegetables and garden sage is as fresh as it is filling and sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Catch of the Day: Martine’s Braised Fish with Rice Pilaf

It was a twenty-four hour sojourn to Martine’s quintessential New England home with one of my best girlfriends, Connie, who introduced us. There we were, three fine women sitting alongside the Quaimbog Cove in Stonington, Connecticut, fully present, laughing often, and chit-chatting about life over good wine in each other’s much desired good company.

  1. Oh we are definitely kindred spirits!! My husband laughs at me about how thrilled I am to have a plate full of “munchies”. LOL! And we are some bruschetta lovin’ fools around here so this recipe is perfect. 🙂 Your blog is just absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to take a peek at some of your other posts. Thanks so much for joining our Inspiration Friday party this week!
