BBQ's....having one? here are some refreshing appetizers and a delicious strawberry dessert

Fresh fruit and vegetables are always a staple in our house.....we love summer, and BBQ a lot, but we also like to change up the menu.....so here are a few ideas.
I recently made these for a dinner party I had and they were a hit. Easy to make, tasty and pretty (Yes I believe food presentation is very important). Place a grape tomato (red or yellow)ed, a wash & dried basil leaf,a mini mozzarella ball and a piece of melon wrapped in a little prosciutto, on a skewer, it's that easy !
Another skewer to be made which is also refreshing : Take 1/2 a grape tomato, a slice of cucumber and a nice small chunk of feta cheese, place on skewer.
A dessert loved by many is strawberry cobbler, because the strawberries are in season I enjoy making these little individual ramekins. To finish this off, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream to the top......(I could eat 4 of them...seriously)
