The year end holidays is a time of sharing, rejoicing, and reflecting on God’s blessings for the year coming to a close. For us it is always bitter sweet as our extended families are so far away. It is sweet because Ro-Taro is home from campus and our little family is complete. This indeed is cause for celebration.

That said, it is a little harder than usual for me this year as I received news a few days before Christmas that my dad is not well. I feel helpless but there is nothing much I can do except to go on with the festivities as planned to take my mind off it.

Thank God, being busy is almost therapeutic. I changed my plans from doing a whole lot of intensive cooking for our Christmas Eve dinner to making easy no-cook or minimal cooking appetizers instead. These dishes are more forgiving and can be easily rectified if need be. They are also very pretty, colorful, and cheerful which helps lift the spirit.

Easy No-Cook Appetizer

This Prosciutto Wrapped Melon appetizer is hardly a recipe. It does deserve a mention though as it is light, tasty, and refreshing. Since we were having little friends over, I decided to use these fun decorative Santa food picks I purchased 2 years back but never used.

Only 2 ingredients are required – melon and proscuitto or parma ham. I added the grapes and mint leaves for presentation purposes. Of course they are also good to eat. I used cantaloupe and green grapes but honey dew and red grapes would also work beautifully.

For a more “adult” flavor, spray or drizzle a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar and grind a little black pepper over the Prosciutto Wrapped Melon. These sweet salty bites are great for a cocktail party and are delicious with a bubbly glass of Prosecco or Moscato. Be sure to change out the picks for your New Year’s Eve party.
