We can eat bruschetta for every meal – from indulgent breakfast to an afternoon snack, crostini are the perfect vehicle for cheese, meat, berries, honey – the list goes on. Most of all, we’re fortunate to live near and feast on the many local farms on Vancouver Island. Try one of these simple recipes for your next block party or summer bbq! Mangia!
