Recipe of the Week: Stuffed Caprese Bites

This week's recipe is stuffed caprese bites, which are essentially bites of pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella, basil, and tomato. They were easy to make, and were devoured within minutes. It helped to pop the pizza dough in the freezer for 10 minutes before making the bites, which helped make it more pliable. I found the recipe here.  


Fresh out of the oven! 




They tasted divine drizzled with balsamic vinegar. 

I loved how they were melty and soft. I'll definitely be making this recipe again soon!

Hope you're having a lovely week. The first half of summer camp is over, and I'm ready for the second half! Enjoy your weekend.

Recipe of the Week: Caprese Salad

This week's recipe is caprese salad, something I've never made before! Since I got my basil plant, I've been looking up recipes that include basil. I found this one, which immediately drew my attention because the photos are amazing! It was fun to make and tasted exquisite. At home, I usually eat Chinese food cooked by my talented grandmother, but I'm always welcome to trying new tastes. It felt great to be able to eat something I had grown and nurtured myself! 





The vibrant colors looked awesome together, like the colors on the Italian flag. As my middle school Italian teacher would say, delizioso!

Have a fabulous day.
