When it comes to our love of food, there is always one thing Jess and I can most definitely agree upon…charcuterie and cheese boards are hands down our favorite appetizer. Sometimes we even make them into a meal! There are nights when we don’t want to turn on the oven or spend time waiting for food to cook.  That’s the beauty of a meat and cheese platter! You get to skip all that. Just pick a few types of meat, a couple of cheeses, then throw in some crackers and bread…and bam, you’re good to go!  It’s so simple and delicious!

When there’s a holiday involved, obviously your meat & cheese platter has to be themed.  There’s no way around it!  Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July…just give me a reason to go a little over the top and present different foods altogether in the shape of a turkey, Christmas tree, skeleton, or American flag.  Putting them together is seriously one of my favorite past times!
