Pea Pesto Crostini-Italian Snack
I love Giada at home show that comes in Food Network Channel, she is my fav chef. Her recipes are so simple and very tasty. She loves to experiment with lots of different flavor. I took this book from library long back and I like to try different kinds of appetizers. This one sounded good to me so easy to make and I liked when I tasted it too. So I am linking this to srivalli's event Cook From Cookbook. I took this from Giada at home cookbook.
