I cannot tell you how excited I am for our garden this year. Especially for basil that will be filling up our herb trough, bright in color, so heavily scented that I could bath in it. LOL.
Don’t you love the smell of fresh basil?
More exciting than the scent, though, is the recipe I’m sharing today. It’s so easy! And we can all use new, refreshing, easy appetizer recipes – perfect for last-minute get togethers or when you’re invited to someone’s house.
Bring an appetizer and wine! I love those words, especially when I have something so simple in mind.
Last weekend I made this simple appetizer for a party that we attended. For me, simple, light appetizers always taste better than heavy ones, so I made Goat Cheese Pesto Tartines.
Tartine: A French word that means open-face sandwich.
Basil season can’t come soon enough, but in the meantime, I used store-bought pesto.
It’s convenient and perfect for “last-minute” and honestly, not everyone has time to whip up fresh basil.
Do you make your own pesto or do you sometimes splurge and buy store-bought?

Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message.
