Fall Recipes inspired by Napa Valley - Bruschetta Bonanza

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and PEOPLE StyleWatch® and Sunset® Magazines but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BacktoMeTime http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

It feels like I haven't been able to take a breath since school started.  

It's been a flurry of carpools, sports, homework, meetings and back to school nights, 

I finally got a taste of some "me time" relaxation.  

It was just a few hours home alone on a Thursday night, 

 with a glass of wine, a decadent cheese platter 

and some favorite magazines. 

It was a dream to pour over the fall fashions and colors in PEOPLE StyleWatch® 

and the always inspiring Sunset® Magazine.

But I stopped in my tracks as I read about the food truck Bruschetteria, 

in my favorite Napa Valley town of St. Helena, 

and then went on to drool over Sunset's Goat Cheese, Artichoke and Olive Bruschetta recipe.  

I decided right then that it was time for a Bruschetta Bash.

Simple cheeses and the season's best vegetables on rustic grilled bread, 

there is nothing better for a light dinner or a show stopping appetizer.

The perfect pairing of creamy, tangy goat cheese with artichoke hearts and olives 

then topped with fresh parsley is a little bit of heaven on bread...

Then I switched up the classic tomato bruschetta by spreading burrata cheese on grilled chibatta, 

then layering on organic heirloom cherry tomatoes and a sprinkling of chives and salt...

and finally a bed of melted fontina cheese, 

 topped with thin sliced red bell pepper, fresh oregano leaves and a touch of lemon zest...

I have so many pages of inspiration ripped out of these magazines, 

I am anticipating a stylish, colorful and delicious Fall!
