I have a weakness for crostini. I simply can't get enough of the thin, crisp toasts with savory toppings. Since I jump at the chance to try a new variation, I recently made this easy, vegetarian crostini recipe.

When I saw this recipe for white wine sangria in the July issue of Gourmet magazine, I knew I had to make it. I wasn't disappointed when I did; this sangria is phenomenal.
It's fresh, fruity, and refreshing without being overly sweet.

In general, I say it is better to eat fruit than to drink juice. Recent research, though, has found that some juices are better than actual fruit for preventing clogged arteries, which lead to heart disease. Well, at least this is true for hamsters.

I saw this Cabernet Grapevine Bonsai ($69) over on Tastespotting and thought it would make a great gift for the right person. It flowers in the Spring and sheds in the Fall and is a fun take on the regular bonsai. I almost want one for my desk!

Last year I was at my local Trader Joe's when I noticed containers of something called "kiwi grapes." I'd never heard of such a thing, so naturally I picked them up. They were small grape-sized fruits which were delicious and tart, sort of like regular kiwi, but sweeter and with a smooth, edible skin.

Lately I've been experimenting with quail. I love to order it at restaurants, but have little experience making it in my home kitchen. Sundays are a wonderful day for kitchen experiments, so I am going to give this recipe a whirl. 
Endive petals are one of my favorite snacks to serve at a party. Usually I just slather a little honey/blue cheese mixture on, but this recipe for endive petals with blue cheese, grapes and walnuts really takes it to the next level. — Ladle and Whisk
Grapes are available year round, but their peak season is now. When you're purchasing grapes, do you test them by eating one first? Or do you just grab them and hope for the best?
