Italiano Bruschetta

Mmmm...

Have you ever had some french bread sitting on your counter just calling on you to use it.

What do you do?  You can just rip open the bag and start eating those lovely carbs...or...try something else!

This happened to me the other night and I realized how much I was craving Bruschetta.

This lovely tomato, onion, basil concoction from Italiano is just tasty!

It is so simple to make and makes that french bread disappear fast.

The other night I just cut up one Roma tomato, a slice of onion, basil, a dash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Mixed it together and dabbed a little bit more of balsamic vinegar until just right.  I cut thin slices of bread and stuck them in the toaster and topped with the bruschetta.
So yummy, but if you want to go full out here is a recipe from Our Best Bites (click here)!

Tasty Cheese Ball

I made this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving this year...wow...it disappeared FAST!

This is such an awesome cheese ball and it tastes soooo good!

Cheese Ball

2 pkgs 8oz Cream Cheese
1-2 Cups Shredded Cheese
2 Tbsp Ranch Dressing Mix
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
Chopped Nuts (optional)

In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheese, dressing mix and Worcestershire sauce. Form into balls. Roll in the nuts and refrigerate for 2 hours.

I usually don't roll mine in the nuts and just leave it wrapped in the plastic wrap until ready to serve. That way it is fresh and tasty! :)

*Easy way to form ball. Line a bowl with plastic wrap and place cheese mixture inside and take the ends and make into ball.
