It’s time for Met Monday with Between Naps on the Porch, and I am so excited about today’s metamorphosis!
Notice anything different around here? That’s right! A Southern Life has a new look. I’ve kept the colors and header because I really like them. Here is how the site used to look:
Now, there are 3 columns, and, things have moved around. The search bar is on the top right above my Facebook and Twitter badges. I like how the blue on the Facebook badge looks against the red. I think it is pretty enough to add it to Blue Monday at Smiling Sally’s
The navigation has changed. There is also a background framing the 3 columns. There are a lot of internal changes that I won’t bore you with, but, I’m very happy with the new look.
I have been wanting to make some changes for a while now and I am so glad to have the holiday weekend to get to jump right into it. Oh, I have also added the featured picture on the top right. It changes every time you reload. There are 6 pictures that rotate in that position. I’m thinking about making it few but haven’t decided yet.
There are some other additions to A Southern Life that will be coming soon that I think you will really like (I hope so!).
I hope you like the changes so far! What do you think? Some things have not changed, like the lagniappe. It’s still here. Enjoy! Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day!
Today’s Lagniappe: Tomato and Pesto Bruschetta
I’m still harvesting basil from the garden, so, I thought I’d made some more pesto and use it for some easy bruschetta.
1 loaf, crusty Italian baguette
olive oil
1 recipe of pesto
chopped tomato (best if you get it right out of your own garden!)
fontina cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices. Brush the sliced bread with olive oil and bake them in a 375 degree oven until crispy and light brown. Remove the bread slices from the oven and turn the oven up to broil.
Spread about a tablespoon of pesto on each slice of bread and top with tomatoes and cheese.
Place the bread slices back in the oven and broil until cheese melts.
