Mozzarella Sticks

It's not vacation without mozzarella sticks. My 10-year old son was so excited he just had to know who invented this fabulous delicacy. {available}

Insalata Infilzata

As you may know, I'm not a big tomato fan, but this recipe looks fabulous and it's quite pretty too. Cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil leaves and olive oil is such a nice combination, especially on small skewers. I encourage you to take a peak at Cynthia Furey's blog, Furey and the Feast for more fabulous recipes. {sold}

Tomato and Mozzarella

As you know I'm not a big fan of tomatoes. I happened to mention this at work and someone shared how they spruce up a fresh sliced tomato...add balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then top with a nice piece of mozzarella cheese. That actually sounds good and might prompt me to try one from the garden this year. {thanks Denise!}
