Do you ever add creative flair to your food?

I love to mix it up. My husband does not always agree it is a good idea, as he tends to prefer usual (boring) taste combinations. Haha.
This is why I exploit every night my girls come over to experiment a little. For instance by combining salty and sweet and umami flavors in one appetizer.

So does this recipe that celebrates the sweetness of grapes and the creamy piquancy of pecorino cheese. Chili-flavored EVO oil and green olives will also help wheting your appetite.
Just the time to open the bottle of Pinot Noir and these skewers will make the perfect morsels for your party!
