Cheese Boards

cheese board

After getting a new camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T6 DSLR,  I knew that I really wanted to recreate some of my past photos. Especially this cheese board that I posted a couple weeks ago. I found the perfect cutting board last month to use for my cheese boards or veggies platters. It’s small, but substantial enough to hold quite a bit of food. The cutting board is made from acacia wood and it seems quite sturdy, but not heavy or bulky at all.

I used some of the same types of food in this cheese board but there are a couple of different things. It’s a perfect snack when entertaining and I love the mix of different meats, cheeses, crackers, and fruit. I like to keep it pretty simple but the ideas are endless. In case you’re interested in replicating this at home here is a list of what I used.

    • Alouette Double Cream Brie
    • Columbus Meats Prosciutto Mozzarella Panino
    • Boar’s Head Havarti Dill Cheese
    • Mario Green Olives
    • Driscoll’s Raspberries
    • Sliced French Bread
    • Target Market Pantry Colby Jack Cheese
    • Target Water Crackers
    • Applegate Salami
    • Pretty Lady Grapes
    • Optional rosemary sprigs for garnish

Recently I talked about how much I love Hint Water! I had only tried the watermelon and apple flavors. Both of which are incredible and I’d definitely recommend.  I was really excited to try the blackberry flavor today. And needless to say, it’s didn’t disappoint. I love the crisp, refreshing taste, and it’s not overly sweet.

Our local grocery stores have a limited selection of flavors, so I’m thankful that they’re all available on the official website. Want to save $5 on your first case of Hint? Go here:  https://www.talkable.com/x/eRsMXx

One of the first recipes I found when I was interested in starting a food blog this past summer, was Singapore Noodles from Crazy Vegan Kitchen. Amrita has a ton of wonderful vegan recipes on her website.

I am not a vegan so I chose to add meat to mine. I’ve made it with beef and with chicken. I’ve also omitted and added somethings to my own liking. If you’d like to see the original recipe, which is amazing, it is located here.
