Friday Night Dates :: 17

I'm inviting romance into my life
one Friday Night Date at a time
and documenting each one here on my little ol' blog.

I want to remember every detail
of these splendid home spun dates.

Date #17

The champagne bubbled
and tickled our lips
as we watched love and betrayal unfold.

It was a seductive evening.

Here are the recipes...

Alouette Crème de Brie Mango-Cranberry Crostini Recipe
{Recipe from Alouette}

20 thin (¼ inch) slices French baguette

1 tbsp. snipped fresh mint leaves, if desired

Directions

Heat oven to 375° F.

Yum. My date night this weekend consisted of us spending time with two grand kiddos. It doesn't get much better than that! Oh, and the menu was juice boxes, gummy bears, and gold fish!

YUMMY! As always you have outdone yourself my friend! Everything looks fabulous!

I have not seen Dangerous Liaisons but it looks great! I will have to see if Netflix has it!

We've never seen that movie. It seemed like the kind that would drive me nuts with all the intrigue. My heart can't take it!
