Happy Memorial Day!! I’m always grateful to have a day to remember the many generations that went before… that opened the way for each of us to know life as we know it. SO full of gratitude.
I hope you are having a fabulous 3 day weekend and celebrating the beginning of summer! At least in my world that’s what it always marks~ the start of warm weather and summer fun 🙂 If you’re looking for a last minute, quick and easy appetizer to take with you to your Memorial Day get together then these Basil Olive Tapenade Crostini’s are just the thing!
I love Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese… they’re so good! Have you tried the NEW Creamy Asiago flavor? It’s just fabulous. I love that Laughing Cow comes in the adorable wedges that are only 35 calories each. It’s a delicious way to have creamy-cheesiness with less of calorie punch 🙂
