Walking through the grocery store the other day, I saw cherry tomatoes and thought of one of my favorite summer recipes – this recipe for caprese salad appetizers. I call it a summer recipe because, as delicious as it may be, it just doesn’t feel right making them simply to sit on my kitchen island while visiting with friends. No, caprese salad appetizers belong on the deck, with music playing and perhaps a sangria on the table as well. I counted the weeks in my head until we could hopefully have our first “deck party”…and then it promptly snowed 25cm in a matter of days.
I know Spring weather will be here eventually, even if it doesn’t follow the calendar as it should. So, I’m planning recipes, sangria recipes included, and can’t wait until I can host friends and family in our backyard once again. It’s simply one of my favorite things to do.

I love having family and friends over for dinner and drinks and great times. Love the butterflies on these.
Oh wow ! Over the moon right now to have won. Thank you soooo much. You have no idea what blue butterflies mean to me.When my daughter was dying of a brain tumor she told me that she wouldn’t make it to heaven because she had been mean to a few children that had picked on her. I told her she would make it to heaven and she said “How will you know mom?” So I told her to send me a blue butterfly when she passed over and made it to heaven. After she passed away everyone of her very close friends and I had a blue butterfly visit us. We even have a blue butterfly boat as the logo to her charity that she started when she was alive and have continued since. Again Thank you sooo much I am over the moon.
Oh wow! This is magnificent! How perfect, and you’re so very welcome Denise.
