My friend and scrapper extraordinaire, Shanna Noel, just started a new blog and challenged her readers to complete a Pinterest inspired project. Unfortunately, my schedule didn't allow for me to get too creative, but I did make a recipe. For book club this week, we all brought Italian inspired dishes. I had this recipe for caprese skewers pinned and really wanted to make it. I just so happen to be basil-plant-sitting for a friend who's out of tow for a couple of weeks and she said I could help myself. So I did. Simplest ingredients: grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella (cubed), fresh basil leaves (chopped) olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Instead of doing the skewers, I dumped it all in a bowl and made a salad. I took along the oil and balsamic so it didn't get too greasy on the drive over. I also added fresh Parmesan shavings, which I tend to pop in my mouth and snack on. Dangerous. It was very fresh and good and everyone enjoyed it. Nailed it!
