Cheeseboards
My favorite part of cooking is the presentation. I also love things that are easy, that anyone can make (and make it “their own” at that!) … cue cheese boards. The epitome of gathered living - see what I did there. Although cheese boards are out of my usual home decor niche, I have a feeling you’ll love learning to create these in fun and new ways alongside me. While these may be trendy right now, I have no doubt I’ll be over here making (and eating) them forever and ever.

Whenever I'm entertaining during the holiday season, my go-to appetizer is a always a festive charcuterie board. Not only is this super quick and easy to make, but it is a perfect shareable dish for feeding a crowd. There's hardly any prep involved aside from a little slicing and arranging.
