Hello! I’m Summer, a registered dietitian and home chef who loves to cook, eat, and create recipes for you! Every recipe on this site has been tested by me to help ensure your success in the kitchen. All eaters are welcome here 🙂
This dish is extremely srumptious!
Thank you so much!
Can’t believe this finally went through, Summer! Seriously, every time I’ve tried to comment from the weekend onward, my remarks were “blocked on suspicion of you being a bot.” Or something like that. Not only that, but the “Like” feature was stuck on “Loading.”
Anyway, I’ll have to see if the local market carries buffalo milk mozzarella. It very well might, as it usually boasts a pretty formidable inventory, and the area has a disproportionately large Italian-American population. Best of all, moz is one of the few cheeses I actually enjoy.
No such qualifications for most of the other ingredients, as peaches, chicken and grape tomatoes are among my favorite things on Earth. When taken in combination – wowzer!
Striking colors, too, Summer, as usual. You have not only a skill for a pleasing combination, taste-wise, but also an enviable sense for striking aesthetics too. Beautiful.
Now, to see if site will allow me to re-post comments on the last two entries too, before it shuts me down again…
I’m so sorry about that! I don’t think you’ll have any issues with being blocked now.
I got rid of the like button too because my son was reporting the same issue you were having. Oh self-hosted website, why must you be such a headache? Lol So glad you like the Caprese!
Test.
