To say I love cheese would be an understatement 
I love cheese on my pasta, pizza, even cheese on my tater tots, cheese on french fries is the only way to go, and a sandwich isn’t a sandwich without the cheese, but sometimes simple is the way to go, especially in the summer when the livin’ is easy.
Summer entertaining should be fun and simple and it doesn’t get much simpler or more delicious than bruschetta with Castello Saga Blue Brie and Strawberries
Fruit and cheese are a match made in heaven, and with some good crusty bread, you have my idea of the perfect summer meal.
