Any food lover would go crazy for Italian because they are simple dishes that use high quality ingredients. Being that we are in the last days of summer you can go to your local farmer’s market or grocery store for seasonal vegetables and try your hand at making a delicious antipasti platter or a simple platter of olives or bruschetta. A really simple but satisfying dish is Insalata Caprese, which is tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil with a drizzle of good olive oil and salt! Delicious! A flavorful grilled vegetable salad may be on your menu, try grilling artichokes, zucchini and red peppers or go for the gusto and make a pizza either on your BBQ grill or in your oven. You don’t have to make heavy Italian food , as there are many dishes that are light and satisfying, as well as flavorful and tasty. And least we forget there are many fine Italian wines and drinks to enjoy with your meal,  or even just Italian sodas are tasty and refreshing! Enjoy and Bon Appétit!
