Simple Bruschetta Recipes
I’ve been craving something light and refreshing lately and made a few bruschetta recipes this weekend to snack on. And by snack on I mean we made it into a meal 😊 If you follow my blog, you’ve probably read my other posts about bruschetta – Simple Summer Bruschetta Recipes (May 2023) and Easy Bruschetta Recipes (June 2023). It’s such a diverse food. You can have sweet, savory, spicy, citrus, vegetarian, meat-based, or any combination. And it’s a bite-sized food so you can serve it as an appetizer or side dish or do what we did and make it a meal. I have 3 recipes to share with you today. One is sweet and refreshing, one is savory, and one is citrusy and refreshing. Strawberry Peach Bruschetta Bacon & Ricotta Bruschetta Lemon, Basil & Ricotta Bruschetta STRAWBERRY PEACH BRUSCHETTA (aka sweet and refreshing) Strawberry Peach Bruschetta is bursting with fresh flavors and has a hint of sweetness … Continue reading

Prosciutto & Arugula Baguette Sandwiches
Baguette sandwiches are my new favorite thing! There is something about a baguette that makes you feel like you are in a French café, sipping cappuccino, and enjoying local fare. They are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and make for a great sandwich. Prosciutto & Arugula Baguette Sandwiches make the perfect meal. The prosciutto is salty, the cheese is sharp, and the arugula adds some fresh flavor. Pair it with some mustard or mayonnaise and jam, and you are set! The recipe can be found here. Start by making the sandwich spread. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. This gives the sandwich a spicy and tangy taste. You can use only mayonnaise or only mustard or neither, but I like the flavor of both combined. Next, slice the baguette in half. Each half will make one sandwich. Or you can slice … Continue reading

Kentucky Derby Delights
The Kentucky Derby is an annual horse race held in, you guessed it, Kentucky. Typically, the race is scheduled on the first Saturday in May but thanks to COVID and the current pandemic status, it was rescheduled for September 5, 2020. I’ve never been to the Derby and would love to go someday but until that happens, I’m content staying home and watching it on TV. Like most other holidays or celebrations, there will be themed food. Did you expect anything else? 🙂 Our appetizer will be Pimento Cheese Spread with sliced baguette. Pimento Cheese Spread is essentially the caviar of the South. It’s very cheesy and tangy, and there is nothing quite like it. It’s a great comfort food…and super easy to make! The recipe can be found here. Start by softening the cream cheese. You can do this by letting the cream cheese sit on the counter for … Continue reading

The Best French Onion Soup
French Onion Soup has always been one of my favorite soups. Traditional French Onion soup is a soup based on meat stock and onions, served with croutons or bread and grated cheese on top. Usually beef stock is used but my recipe calls for chicken stock. The reason I use stock is it creates a slightly thicker liquid as opposed to broth, and the chicken stock yields better flavor in this dish (in my opinion). This is by far the best French Onion Soup I have had! It’s worth the time spent caramelizing the onions to have the perfect flavor. I can’t begin to describe how yummy this soup is…I literally have no words because I can’t stop eating the soup long enough to talk…so let me describe how to make it instead 🙂 The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the onions. The recipe calls for 8 … Continue reading
