For the 4th: Food Porn for your patio party


When I ran across this gorgeous picture via Tastespotting, I knew there was no way I could host a backyard patio party this summer without trying this recipe that the petite pig has created - Roasted Fig with Vanilla Sea Salt and Proscuitto Bruschetta. Really, tell me your mouth isn't watering already. Though figs aren't necessarily my favorite thing in the world, I'd brave it since I'm a sucker for anything topped with Proscuitto.

This recipe also incorporates the delectable flavors of mascarpone cheese, radicchio, and balsamic vinegar - definitely something a little different to serve alongside your red, white, and blue cocktails on the 4th.
