Caprese Skewers

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a while, but I'm back with a bunch of new recipes! Tonight was the first meeting of my book club, and our first book was Fifty Shades of Grey (duh!). There was much more jibber jabber than book discussion, and much more eating than jibber jabbering! We had a table filled with buffalo chicken dip, turkey corn dogs, pigs in a blanket, cookies, brownies, cheesecake stuffed strawberries, and my contribution: caprese skewers. A little lighter than some of the other options (which were all amazingly delicious by the way), these skewers were super easy to make and will be a staple on all future party menus!

Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella - with balsamic glaze for dipping!

These were so simple they don't need step by step instructions! Just buy cherry tomatoes, little mozzarella balls (I used the smallest pearl size, but you could use a big piece and cut it into cubes, or any other size as well). These can usually be found in the specialty cheese case at your grocery store Then I layered the tomatoes and cheese with a basil leaf in the middle.

Finally, I filled the center dipping bowl with my favorite balsamic glaze! Thanks to one of the greatest cooks i know, Aunt Karen Harberg, for introducing me to the balsamic glaze...it's delish! These were so easy to make, and they were a light finger food that everyone could enjoy! Going to parties and trying to eat healthy don't always go hand in hand, but with a healthy finger food that's this good, you can enjoy a few extra bites without adding a few extra pounds!
