To celebrate grape season, I thought I'd write a little diddy on this favorite fruit....
I don't know about you, but we have a lot of grapes kickin' around our fridge these days. Before we had our daughter, I think consumed far more grapes via vino than on the vine. With a grape surplus in our midst, I decided to experiment with using our purple and green friends for other, unconventional uses. My investigation revealed that grapes are a nice substitute for tomatoes. Here's what I am talking about....
1) Arugula, grape & goat cheese salad - Arugula, sliced grapes, goat cheese bits, toasted pine nuts, roasted chicken with a basic viniagerette.
2) Brie & grape quesadilla - Two flour tortillas, sliced brie, sliced grapes, spray with cooking spray and cook in a skillet (or George Foreman grill) for approximately 4 minutes a side or until slightly browned.
