Birthday Bruschetta

Hello darlings,


   This is Hannah, and I am super excited right now, my first offical post!!


Rachel's 14th birthday was Sunday the 18th of April.  Didn't get a chance to make her a birthday dinner until tonight.  She requested Bruschetta.


Bruschetta, is an appetizer whose origin dates to at least the 15th century from central Italy.  It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.  Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper, tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, and/or cheese; the most popular recipe outside of Italy involves basil, fresh tomato, garlic and onion or mozzarella.  
Thank you Wikipedia=)


The recipe I used called for cubed Tomatoes, Parmesan Cheese, dried Basil, Olive Oil, salt, and pepper.  I mixed it all together in the morning, cover and refrigerated it until dinner time.  Sliced some French Bread, for Rachels, and Spelt bread, for myself, and broiled the bread on a cookie sheet until it felt crunchy and was brown around the edges.  Flipped the bread slices over and placed about a tablespoon and a half of the bruschetta mixture on top.  Sprinkled a bit of mozzarella cheese on top and broiled it until the cheese had melted. I also served grapes and salad.












I do believe the birthday dinner was a success.


Happy Birthday Rachel!♥

A beautiful song I love

Hello, loves!

It's Friday and we haven't posted all week! Though, we did take some lovely pictures at Erika's house on Sunday to be posted soon. I thought I'd share this {Jonsie-Go Do} song with you all. Enjoy! It's very fantastic. ;)

Have a wonderful fun-filled weekend!

Silver white Winters that melt into Springs

                           Rachel and cousin Noah, Erika's adorable brother.
Rachel's new favourite word.
Hannah and Rachel's mom, with baby Jonas.
Isn't he the most precious thing?
A bright sunny afternoon just waiting to have us take pictures with it.  
I love Erika's pose in this one. So graceful.
We do love each other! :)
 
Running, running, running. Makes for good exercise I'd say.
I hope you enjoyed these photographs, meant to get you into the Springtime spirit. :) The flowers are blooming more and more each day, the trees are budding, and it is pure bliss. Happy Thursday, loves!
