Antipasto

Who doesn't love a great snack?

I love to snack and during the weekend what better way to unwind by watching some great movies or shows on hulu and having a great snack. That is where the antipasto platter comes into play. What a great snack in between meals. It may not be the healthiest snack but it is very tasty. 

Just choose a good bread, like a nice french baguette, variety of cheese, I used asiago for this one. Smoked provolone, buffalo mozzarella or smoked gouda will work. 

You can choose a couple different salami's, olives, good olive oil to drizzle over the bread, figs and even honey.

One of those days where I just want something simple and light. After a good workout, this is just the thing to please my appetite.

Caprese Salads are served and presented different everywhere you go. So, here is the way I like to eat mine.

All you need are a few items:

Ripe vine tomato
Mozzarella cheese (I used a smoked provolone cheese)
Fresh basil
Balsamic vinegar
Good olive oil
Salt & Pepper


Time to put it all together

Slice the tomato, cheese and tear our cut the basil into pieces/strips.
Place tomatoes on plate  and season with salt & pepper. 
Place sliced cheese on top and place basil on top of each.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Sit back and enjoy.
This snack is great at room temperature.
