I hope you have been enjoying your week. We have been in the moving house process lately. With Lia growing so fast extra space is needed! So you can imagine all the packing and unpacking that I have been doing! The first thing that I wanted to have set and ready was... the kitchen! And although we still have much to do (unpacking and organizing) I'm a true believer in comfort food and when times like this come in our way, a simple homemade salad, a warm bowl of pasta or a quick 'aperitivo' appetizer like this one can always make things look better.
During the summer season, when plums were in full pick {we are about to start winter here}- one of the easiest and satisfying snack that I loved to prepared was plum and blue cheese bruschetta. Indulgent and also extremely easy to make! This combination was inspired by my mother (She was here visiting last december), she loves bittersweet food, particularly bittersweet appetizers. This aperitivo reminds me of my mom and how much we enjoyed the summer together while she was here, we made lot of food and we laugh, had long- long- long conversations about life and motherhood as well.
Just combining both sweet and savory on a warm slice of toasted french bread becomes to difficult to resist, no?! This can be served before lunch, as a quick lunch, with a bowl of soup (if you're in cool season) or as a side or entree if you're in summer! Not only flavorsare incredible in this bruschetta but the simplicity that goes into its preparation. It's just to good!!! Something fast 'homemade' food. Hope you enjoy this too!!!
