Strawberry and Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Getting your grocery list ready for Sunday? If you want to be the favorite child, make this for Mom. It takes about 20-30 minutes to throw together and will make you look like a pro in the kitchen. Not that you need help in that area.
I made this appetizer a few weeks ago with Cape Cod Chopped Salad,  Lobster Shells and some Baked Lemon Chicken. It's a  delicious, simple and beautiful meal fit for a queen, or in this case, your Mother.

Have a wonderful weekend :)
