Food with one hand

I know, I shared this already, but it fits with the theme and we have a long summer of entertaining ahead of us.

Tomato Mozzarella Basil Crouton Skewers

Skewer cherry tomatoes, basil, tiny mozzarella balls and croutons* and arrange them as if they were flowers in a vase. I used white beans to hold ‘em down.

I’ve yet to find leftovers of these.

Make sure you have a place to put the skewers or you’ll find them all over the place.
(Like in your plants and your car and your couch cushions … ahem…)

*I make my croutons by chopping bread into cubes and pan frying them. I sprinkle the bread cubes with a mixture of garlic salt, thyme and pepper. I melt a mixture of olive oil and butter in the pan together and then toss the seasoned bread cubes with the oil, keeping a close eye on them when they become toasty. When they’re still hot, I grate Parmesan cheese over them to, you know, be obnoxious with deliciousness.

    My mom had the same idea! You can see my pics on my blog here: http://chewonthat.blogspot.com/2007/05/madness-continues.html.

  3. What a great idea! My local warehouse store has a massive tub of mozz balls for $8 – enough to feed the entire state of Florida….going to try this next week for Memorial day
