Many women all over the world have been where I found myself a few weeks ago. It was on my way home from work that an impromptu plan was made. Some friends decided to come for dinner. Fortunately they agreed to go halfsies on take out. That still left some appetisers to create.
When in doubt stick to the simple and easy - it usually is the best tasting too. Here's one of my versions of a quick, easy and delicious Caprese.
