Stick Around

There are tons of different types of food available on a stick. Ice cream, corn dogs, sausage, alligator (if you are from New Orleans this won't seem so odd) and cookies to name a few. I don't know if food is more fun to eat on a stick or if it is just easier. Here is a version of my favorite type of salad on a stick - Caprese Salad Skewers. Fun to make, fun to eat and even more fun to serve!
