One of my close friends just launched her new website, The Bad Vegetarian. Although I am not a vegetarian myself, I do try to limit the amount of meat that I eat every week. The website is great, because it offers delicious vegetarian options for people who are trying to find meals without meat. I decided to upload an easy bruschetta recipe that I made a few times in college. I gave the fiancé and Brian (the fiancé’s friend who is staying with us for the summer) a taste to make sure that they approved, and the entire batch disappeared in less that 5 minutes. I decided this meant that it was officially ok to share the recipe with the world, so I posted it here. NOTE: The link is in! Click HERE to go to the bruschetta recipe!
Since I didn’t have any crackers to serve the bruschetta on, I took some italian bread and cut it into thin strips and cut it in half (I would have preferred french bread, so I didn’t have to cut the circles in half, but I didn’t have any on hand) and then quickly fried them in some heated olive oil over the stove. I put a generous serving of olive oil (I eyed it, but it would probably be about a cup total) and heated it until it was just bubbling. I then popped the small slices of bread into the pan, waited about 30 – 45 seconds and then turned and waited another 30 – 45 seconds. The result was a lightly toasted platform to serve the bruschetta on!
Thanks for the excuse to cook, Nina! 
Thanks, Linds! We’re having some tech difficulties with the website launch, but your recipe will be up within the next day or so! Can’t wait to try the bruschetta!
Sounds great! I can’t wait to try all of the recipe’s that you have up there already!
