Cheese, its Whats for Dinner!
Blurring the line on appetizer, dinner, or even busy lunch, cheese boards and snack platters are one of our favorite ways to get lots of different meals done. We talk a little bit about how we make cheese for dinner a little more nutritious and why we use these gorgeous boards to get our kids to try new foods.
Our Tips for Building Cheese Boards
Choose 1-3 types of cheese — something hard, something semi-soft, and soft
Meat is optional!
Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables in different colors
Include a bowl for pits and stems and get it started.
Precut as much of these cheese as you can — this makes it more approachable
Put cheeses down first
Add bowls for dips and small items
Add crackers, fruit, and vegetables
