What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Cut Above: Cotton Candy Grapes & Cheese! If you haven’t tried these tasty hybrid grapes recently, you may have to take a trip to the wild side. Their nostalgic flavor resembles the vanilla-caramel addiction to cotton candy memories of childhood county fairs. Who doesn’t yearn for that?!?! The pop of spun sugar makes them chewy, sweet, and run-down-your-chin juicy. Sounds like the perfect reward for walking 3 miles every morning. You can come up with your own justification, I’m sure. 

COTTON CANDY GRAPES & CHEESE

Ingredients:

1 pound cotton candy grapes, seedless

4 ounces bleu cheese wedge

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
