We are heading into one of my favorite seasons of the year – entertaining season!! Between Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the new year, I can’t wait for more excuses to host friends and family in our new home. 

Putting Together Caprese Skewers

Since I’m a huge fan of last-minute casual get togethers, I love keeping my fridge and pantry stocked with versatile ingredients that can easily be transformed into something delicious. We always have a bag of Little Potato Company potatoes on hand so I decided to create a fast and easy appetizer to get you through the holiday season: Pesto Caprese Potato Skewers.
