Bruschetta is betta!

The holiday season is definitely here and just because it is the holidays it does not mean we have to make super heavy everything.  I decided Bruschetta is betta!  It is so light and definitely an appetizer that will impress any crowd.  I know we all do this we get the call, text or email that says we're having this holiday this day and we all automatically say what can I do? or what can I bring?  I mean it is only polite you are going to be there eating their food, messing up their hoouse that they probably spent a week getting perfect.  So the best thing is to offer my assistance in bring an appetizer.  Now that I have my part of the job for the big holiday I need the recipe.  So when I think about all the ham, potatoes, bread, cheeseball, candy and pie I'm going to eat I think first wear loose fitting pants or leggings and then I think man I should bring something light and fresh.  

I have decided Bruschetta is probably the best for this task.  First it is super east and it is always a great presentation that is sure to impress!  Just be sure to choose your tomatos wisely because it can be difficult this time of year but I always seem to find a few that turn out to be gorgeous.  Stay up to date with A Little Treat by subscribing to our email list!  Just click below and follow the link!  Follow up in your email (check your spam folder if it does not appear).  Thank you for stopping by!
