Caprese Appetizers

What better appetizer to start off a gourmet feast of healthy delicious Greek food.paired with your sweet red wine!

Ingredients:

20 oz	Grape tomatoes
10 oz 4 Tbs 1 pinch 1 Tbs 20	Mozzarella cheese cubed Extra Virgin Olive Oil Salt and pepper each Italian seasoning toothpicks

Directions:

Simple enough – take the toothpicks and put one grape and one cube of mozzarella cheese on each. I like putting them all in a glass container with a lid along with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Shake it around to fully coat and then leave in the fridge for a few hours to marinate or overnight. Pull the container out and serve. Just about the easiest appetizer to make!

Morning Strawberry Protein Shake

Garden Strawberries So, I like strawberries, and it is the season for all of us back yard growers to start picking! I downsized my plot of plants, but I still have some to pick periodically as they ripen. The local farms should be ready for the "you pick deals" from June - mid July now! There are quite a few growers in the PNW to choose from. A local favorite is the Biringer Farm , you can check out their website for more information.

I blend this for about a minute to make sure eve...
