Do you love caprese, but don’t always want it served in a salad? There are so many “caprese” recipes to love, that you do not have to choose just one, right?
Here are some of my favorite caprese recipes:
Fly fishing Fall River, Oregon
An afternoon spent on the Fall River (in central Oregon), is one of our favorite getaways.
Right now we are enjoying fly fishing, but also hiking, being in nature, smelling the warm forest ground—so full of life.
Then home to … a very quick meal!
This easy dinner was a huge hit, and has just a few ingredients, so it only takes a few minutes to throw together. But don’t forget, it’s great for a party and served on a charcuterie board, too.
I am all about easy these days, and these little bites of summery heaven are perfect!
