All
We have a little fun appetizer for you today. How cute are these Valentine's Caprese Skewers?
When it comes to classic Italian flavours you cannot go wrong and these caprese skewers are totally fool proof!
What are your plans for tomorrow? is travelling to Turkey for work so we'll be having a candle lit dinner with our little pooch we think we'll make myself a little steak dinner and watch movies in our jammies with plenty puppy cuddles. That don't sound too bad to us.
Our anniversary was last week and we celebrated with a good home cooked meal. We recreated the first meal ever cooked for us. Chicken meatballs in a mouth watering tomato sauce. It was SO good and these little caprese skewers went perfectly as our appetizer with a little glass of bubbly!
So we're not too bummed out that we won't be spending Valentine's together…it gives us an excuse to celebrate when he gets back
To make the heart shape we cut the tomatoes in half at an angle and then turned one side upside down. It makes a solid little tomato heart, they're adorable!
To make the skewers it couldn't be simpler…
Roma tomatoes
Mini mozzarella balls
Basil leaves
Are all you need plus a little seasoning and a tiny drizzle of olive oil which we're sure you all already have in your kitchen, right?
Place the tomato hearts through the skewers followed by a mozzarella ball and basil leaf. Arrange on a serving plate and sprinkle over a little salt and pepper followed by a drizzle of olive oil.
Simple and good!

Method
