Mini Caprese Puff Pastry Tarts

February 3, 2018 By Becky Hardin Leave a Comment

I’m a big believer that sometimes the best and tastiest recipes are the simplest.  This recipe is solid proof on that being true.

Mini Caprese Tarts! Mini bites of heaven with basil, balasmic, tomato, and mozzarella. YUM!We were looking for a simple and delicious appetizer to make for our first Valentine’s dinner as a married couple.  In the past we have always gone out, but this year is different.  This year we are finally married, finally own a home together, and are saving  money for a deck! 🙂  I don’t want our dinner at home to be lacking in any way, and these appetizers will add the perfect romantic, tasty, and easy touch to the meal!

Busy Girl’s Bruschetta

April 4, 2014 By Madison Wetherill Leave a Comment

We all have those weeks. Ya know, the crazy ones. We won’t go into detail but the bottom line is, even when weeks are crazy and life is out of control, girl’s still gotta eat! And just because it’s busy, doesn’t mean what you’re eating can’t still be deliciously gourmet tasting. 

Now that springtime has finally decided to show up, I am really excited to use fresh produce and there’s nothing better than fresh tomatoes in my book. I’ve had quite a few variations of bruschetta, including a goat cheese and red pepper bruschetta last weekend! But when I want that authentic Italian taste and summer feeling, I go for a very traditional bruschetta recipe.

Bruschetta ingredients are so simple and a lot of the time I have them all already. Sometimes I opt for fresh basil but this time I just used dried basil because I really wanted to hone in on the delicious tomato taste. Therefore I kept the distractions to a minimum.
