Wine & Cheese Please

{Food for Thought}

I used Canada Dry's new Sparkling Ginger Ale with Green Tea "loaded with antioxidants" but what they don't tell you is how much sugar is in it. So, until they come out with a diet version I am sticking with other diet green teas. Another idea is to buy some peach green tea bags, steep, let cool, then add to the wine.

Lastly, this appetizer was quick to make & a lighter alternative for when you're spending an afternoon by the pool. A little blue cheese goes a long way so not much is needed, therefore, not a lot of fat. The catch is I don't remember the exact measurements. Just play with it & have fun. We all agreed when I made this for my parents that you can only eat a few & they're not something you want to keep munching on.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Pears Wrapped in Prosciutto

Pears, cored & sliced
Small container crumbled Blue cheese (won't use all)
Non-fat yogurt (8oz but won't use all)
Prosciutto, sliced thin, cut into strips

Combine blue cheese & yogurt. Should be thick enough to smear onto the pear slices. Wrap with a slice of prosciutto. Serve immediately.
