rosemary mozzarella skewers

for a baby shower last week, i realized i had a plethora of sweet things (of course), but needed some more savory dealios.

i found these babies over at pioneer woman...

click here for her exact recipe.
they were tasty. 
they take a second to assemble, though.
i made them the night before so they marinated awhile, and ran out of rosemary stalks, so used some toothpicks.
i forgot thyme, which was fine, and i also didn't use much olive oil. just a spritz.
i got all these ingredients at trader's...gotta love a one-stop-shop.
these would also be good with tomatoes, i'm thinking, esp. if you don't like salami!
needless to say, i enjoyed a few leftovers on my salad the next day...
mmmm.
