You guys know how much I love monkey bread! Remember that time I told you about how a friend and I ate the whole thing over coffee? Well that was the best memory! 

I also have memories of when we used to make this at home when I was a kid! We never made any flavor other than a classic monkey bread but this time I wanted to try it with strawberries!

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend full of lots of love and chocolate! We did for sure but it also included a little tiramisu as well.

I always make it for my hubby on la festa di San Valentino (that would be Valentine’s for Americans but in Italy it is his Saint Day) and on his birthday.

Something else I also made over the weekend was this whole wheat smoked turkey bruschetta (pronounced brew-sket-ta by the way)!

And my, my were they good. I do not typically buy arugula. The reason being is that some types are very spicy and it can be overwhelming. I knew I wanted to use it to top of this appetizer so I bought some hoping for the best. Lucky for me it turned out to be a great flavor and not over powering at all.

Making this bruschetta is obviously super easy. I decided to use whole wheat bread but I couldn’t find it in a baguette so I had to buy the loaf. Which actually worked out pretty good because it was just the right size to place one slice of my applewood smoked turkey breast on top.

Oscar Mayer Selects Natural is the perfect choice for anyone looking for quality cold cuts that have no artificial ingredients and delicious taste. The flavor is fresh and amazing! We even used the remaining turkey in our pasta. I diced it up with broccoli and cream sauce! Fabulous!

ENJOY!
