Did you ever have one of those days where you don’t want like real meals but rather appetizers?  It was one of those gorgeous Fall days that looked deceivingly warm outside until you actually stepped out there and realized it was a bit more than brisk!  You needed those warm ‘n fuzzy pants, soft ‘n comfy sweat shirt and a warm cup of tea (or coffee if that’s your schtick).  However I, who had been going stir crazy from being cooped up for 7 weeks post-op and not being allowed to work out, needed to be outside!  Since the surgeon cleared me to walk I decided to head to our local park and take in a nice long hike.  Well okay it was only a little over 2 miles but still, it was exercise that my body so yearned for.  Even though it was a mere 36F out I didn’t care.  The sun was shining, the lake was gorgeous and I was OUTSIDE!  LOL

By the time I got home I was pretty famished.  So I whipped up my protein shake and then out for a snack.  Since I made a few French Baguettes the other day and bought a ton of fresh grapes I wanted to make a crostini.  Now have you had roasted grapes yet?  No?  Oh folks you have no idea what you’re missing!  They are just pure roasted bundles of yum!  They are sweet and when you bite into them they just burst in your mouth!

These were so awesome that I literally made 2 servings for me.  I was in shear heaven!

The combination of the salty prosciutto, the juicy grapes with that roasted flavor, the creaminess of the ricotta and the honey were just perfection.  I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever had a better crostini!

These are one of those recipes that are truly elegant and all kinds of fancy schmancy with literally almost no effort.  I mean seriously— you cut some bread, toast it, roast grapes and slap it all together.  The toughest parts are one – making it and 2 – sharing.  Trust me I could so make a batch of these for me for dinner!  You got your protein, dairy, carbs, fruits and sugars.  Total balanced meal… right?  LOL

These I’m dubbing an All-Season recipe as I could so see this on a Thanksgiving or Christmas table of appetizers or at your summer gathering.

Seriously these are beyond drool worthy!

Plus they are just so beautiful to look at. Coming from someone that knows Jack Crap about lighting, ISO, aperture, f-stop and stuff.  I thought they were pretty. LOL

So next time you really want to impress someone, go with these.  Or better yet, make them for yourself and give them a bag of chips!  I wouldn’t share!  LOL
