Feeling thankful

"The meal isn't over when I'm full, the meal is over when I hate myself."- Louis C.K.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! Like most large families, we celebrated a few thanksgivings and that means filling up on a few plates of turkey (YIKES!) Of course I didn't end up taking many pictures of the yummy food. But trust me, it was delicious! My mom and I made a few appetizers made with gorgonzola, prosciutto, arugula and pears. Check out the recipes and family pictures below. Hope you all had an amazing thanksgiving! What kind of thanksgiving traditions do you and your family celebrate? 

Pear & Prosciutto Bruschetta 

Ingredients:

Sourdough bread loaf

Gorgonzola cheese

A pear

Prosciutto

Arugula

Balsamic glaze

Cut the sourdough bread loaf into small slices and put them on a cookie sheet. Brush a little bit of olive oil on the bread and put them in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees. 

Put pieces of the gorgonzola cheese in a small bowl and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Grab a spoon and smear the cheese on the slices of bread. Place a piece of the prosciutto on top. Cut the pear into small pieces and place each slice on the bread. 

Place a few pieces of arugula on top to garnish and finish by dressing the appetizer with balsamic glaze.
