Summer Entertaining

I love this photo from What Gabby's Cooking...it looks beautiful, gives plenty of options and makes me want to jump right in.  If you want super easy summer entertaining , bruschetta is where it's at!  Throw this on a table for people to pick and choose their favorite brushetta combo.  If you feel like you need to round it out a bit more you could have some petite filet's for the bbq with a side summer salad.  Nice and light but still flavorful and fun.

P.S. I used to serve the spring pea pesto at hip hostess as a summer appetizer and everyone loves the fresh taste and bright color.

Bruschetta Bar
Ingredients
  • 1 large loaf of bread, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 recipe Basil Vinaigrette
  • 1 recipe Saffron Tomato Confit
  • 1 recipe Red Pepper Sauce
  • 1 recipe Spring Pea Pesto
  • 1 handful fresh arugula
  • 1 cup charred corn (you can take an extra shortcut and grab a bag of frozen charred corn at Trader Jpe's)
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions
  • 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
  • assorted cheeses
  • assorted meats
Instructions
  1. Heat a grill over medium high heat.
  2. Generously drizzle the bread with olive oil on both sides. Using a pair of tongs, transfer the slices of bread to the grill and grill for a few moments until grill marks are present. Flip and continue to grill the bread on the other side for a minute more. Remove and set aside.
  3. Remove the garlic from it's paper and carefully rub the garlic on the toasted bread to give it an extra layer of flavor.
  4. Arrange the toppings on a large platter or table and serve with the grilled bread.

The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body and its stability and function rely on the interplay between surrounding muscles and the smooth cartilage joint surfaces. The rotator cuff consists of four muscles that converge as tendons to cover the humeral head and are directly related to shoulder function and are a primary source for shoulder stability. These tendons can wear out over time with the normal aging process or be disrupted following a traumatic accident.

Business trips are great because they let you learn about other countries culture and population. A recent business trip to Ukraine makes me think that I have never seen such pretty ladies. My business partner was that beautiful too but she was married. That’s why I decided to look for my bride from Ukraine online when I came home. And SofiaDate helped me fulfil my dream. Thank you so much! russian dating
