In Courage,
I have yet to do a charcuterie board. Hubby & I love cheeses, crackers & fruit. Usually I’ll just make a fruit bowl end the meal with cheese & crackers. Love the idea of getting new recipes.
Blessings 🙂
Yummy! My friend Tina makes a beautiful charcuterie. She always brings her beauty to our women’s study and it is devoured!
My favorite item added is honey. A spicy, or wildflower, even with honeycomb adds such flavor especially with brie cheese or Italian prosciutto. Place some rosemary sprigs or pansy flowers…and…wala
I hear that word so much lately really never knew what it was. (The board) but that looks so good I will make they next time
I go somewhere. Thanks
Charcuterie has kinda been my go to for a number of years. It’s sort of expected of me at gatherings. To keep it fresh I change up the cheeses & meats. I always use Trader Joe’s unexpected cheddar though. I never have left overs. The endless combos speak to the vastness of God’s abundant grace to us! Blessings (((0)))
I agree. Charcuterie boards are a fun and easy way to entertain worry free!
