Char… what? Shar-koo-ter-ee. I’m embarrassed to say that I can never quite say this term correctly. You can ask my husband to confirm that I’ve probably tried at least 7 different made up words for it. Thankfully he always knows what I’m talking about. I thought if I write out the pronunciation then maybe I’ll finally be able to say it correctly. Charcuterie is a French term for a type of cooking that specializes in prepared meat products. So a charcuterie board is board filled with meats and other fun goodies that go along with them. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed …

Soft Pretzels
Homemade soft pretzels are awesome. Do you remember that I originally shared this recipe for soft pretzels back in 2014? I love them so much that I’m sharing them again. Yes, they are really worth highlighting again. Plus, I get to share the latest and greatest photos with you because my photography style has definitely changed in six years. However, this recipe has not changed because it’s still as great as it was back then. I want to give a big thank you to my husband because he made these pretzels. He’ll be the first to admit that these pretzels …
Cheese Beer Dip
Fall comfort food is in full swing in our home. When my husband found this recipe, we knew that we had to try it because it sounded amazing. I mean it’s hard to go wrong with cheese and beer. Guys, this stuff is seriously amazing. The flavor is mostly in the cheese and spices. I highly recommend pairing the cheese beer dip with some homemade soft pretzels. This reminded me and my husband of an appetizer that we shared on vacation last year at 3 Brasseurs in Montreal, Canada, which was amazing. We love being able to recreate great restaurant …
Cheese Board for Two
This is not a recipe. Grab your favorite cheese, crackers, bread, and seasonal fruit and voila. Voila, you have a cheese board. My husband asked me if people needed a recipe for a cheese board. I doubt it. Instead, I’m focusing on the idea. We’ve seen charcuterie boards, cheese boards, and even cookie boards for a crowd, but have you thought about doing one for you and your loved one? If yes, then great minds think alike. If not, then you’re welcome. With everything going on in the world, we aren’t entertaining and we aren’t eating out. However, we can …
Avocado and Feta Dip
I’m so excited that football season starts today so I’m celebrating with this awesome appetizer. I was excited when I found this dip recipe because I had never tried this combination of ingredients together. We all know about avocado and tomatoes together in some kind of a guacamole concoction, but this also has feta cheese and basil and it’s all tossed in a vinaigrette dressing. Honestly, they had me at feta. The pictures don’t do it any justice, it’s a delicious green mush. 😉 It’s a dip by virtue of it’s original titled recipe. However, this would also be great …
