With our busy schedules of the past two weeks we haven’t been able to cook together for awhile now. So this week we needed to start off easy in order to get back into the game. We decided that something light and healthy was probably the way to go. We settled on trying to make bruschetta.
Bruschetta is extremely easy to make and you will certainly feel fancy eating it. We ate this with a nice side salad for our dinner but bruschetta is typically served as an appetizer. However, you can serve it any way you like!
We’re so glad to be back in the kitchen!

This is also really good if you roast the tomatoes.
Oo I never though of that! We love using the cherry or grape tomatoes because they’re so much sweeter!
We also really like the temperature difference between the cool tomatoes and the warm toasted bread.
