Giada's Capanota...Foodie Friday



Giada's Capanota is one of my daughters favorite recipes any time of the year. We love to bring this to the beach on a big crusty piece of fresh Italian bread. Today I am serving this without the cheese on crackers as an appetizer. I enjoy putting this onto a piece of broiled chicken. I did not have any red peppers in my fridge today so I used green. It still tastes wonderful. The good thing is that if I have guests coming for a visit I can prepare this a few days in advance and store it in the fridge. This recipe makes a nice amount and makes a delicious hostess or Christmas gift. I personally make several other versions of this recipe but Giada's Capanota ranks high on my list of favorites.

  10. Hi Joyce, this looks delicious. I love that you improvised with what you had on hand.

    I hope it is not too late (I'm on pacific time).I left a not on my blog, but thought I 'd leave on here too. Use 1/2 cup brown sugar And 1/2 cup white sugar in the chocolate chip cookie dough frosting. Hope you enjoy them.
