And no, it's not me...lol. Adam and I are good:) Today was my sister in law, Amanda's, bridal shower. I hosted it along w/ my mother in law, Jeryl and sister in law, Charla. We had such a nice day, and everyone enjoyed themselves through and through. But most of all, Amanda had such a special day, which in the end was the most important part! This was the first bridal shower I have ever planned, and I have to say I had so much fun doing it. There were games, prizes, lots and lots of fun, and food galore!!! We had an appetizer party, and we made a meal out of them! So, for the next few days I'm dedicating each post to a recipe from the shower. We used recipes of mine that were for cucumber sandwiches, cocktail sauce, and fruit dip--so look for those in coming days. But today's is actually a real treat from the bride herself. Amanda makes the greatest bruschetta and we just had to serve it! In fact, it's so good that each person walked away w/ the recipe as one of her favors---we love it so much, we just had to share:) Amanda--I'm so happy you had a great day, and I'm honored to have been a part of it----I love you!
