Bruschetta

Posted by on Oct 22, 2011 in Recipes, Sides and Snacks | Comments Off on Bruschetta

Ingredients:  1 French Baguette Olive Oil Fresh Basil 3 sliced Tomatoes Instructions: Step 1) Slice the baguette into thin pieces. Step 2) On each baguette slice, drizzle a small amount of olive oil, add a basil leaf, and then add a sliced tomato on top. Step 3) Bake for 10 minutes.

Bon Appétit! Feel free to follow us, however you...

Ingredients:  3 cups Plain Yogurt 1/2 cup sliced Strawberries 1/2 cup Blueberries 1/2 cup Raspberries 1 tbsp chopped Walnuts Instructions: Step 1) Add some yogurt into each container and top with mixed berries. Repeat this step until each container is full. Step 2) Add chopped walnuts on top of the parfait, as a garnish.
