cheese board trend
Are you into the cheese board trend? Above are 2 boards I made. It is such a fun creative project! Use a variety of colors, textures, shapes and sizes. Fill up the board! Incorporate different flavors such as sweet, salty, crunchy, and soft. Wow your guests with a beautiful presentation!
This square board above was from a cheese board class. This is a fun activity to do with girlfriends. Ask if the cheese board girl in your area offers classes.
Finally, don’t limit yourself to just cheese! The breakfast board above was for Father’s Day. You can use pancakes, granola, fruit, chocolate. I even used an airplane cookie cutter to make pancakes in the shape of an airplane. The sky is the limit!

spring break shopping suggestions
How cute are all these pieces from Amazon? If you’re shopping for Spring Break, Spring, Summer, beach vacation, these would be a great addition! Separately or all together.

I enjoyed this easy recipe from Smitten Kitchen. Only 4 ingredients, very easy! They are not THAT different from regular Rice Krispie treats…..but I ate more than usual. I think that means the brown butter and sea salt made an impact!
