Well it is official Summer is definitely here, Upper 90's for the past few weeks with no break in sight!! What a Great Day!! Chad was home all day in fact he will be home thru Sunday and then it is off to his new job on Monday. We are all very excited for this new opportunity! The kids played all afternoon in their pool with friends and my sister. Afterwards I had to rush Kaylee off to cheer leading, while the boys stayed home and played. I was so happy to come home to Chad plating our dinner. We had a quiet evening around the table tonight as we were all exhausted from our day in the sun.

The Recipe

Mango, Tomato and Bacon Bruschetta

1/2 cup of mango salsa, pint of cherry tomatoes, 2-3 Tbs olive oil, 6 slices cooked bacon (chopped into bite size pieces), french bread, 1 cup of shredded Havarti cheese or any white cheese.

In a large pyrex bowl combine tomatoes, olive oil, and salsa. Salt and pepper to taste. Bake @ 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Once it is done mash the tomatoes until your salsa is a chunky mixture. Cut the bread into 1 inch thick slices then bake the bread for 10-15 minutes till lightly toasted. Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice of bread until covered. Top with bacon pieces then cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Fettuccine

Very simple dish. We just cooked fettuccine noodles according to box, tossed with leftover steak and classico four cheese alfredo sauce.
