Wine and Chocolate Charcuterie DIY!

October 28
No comments yet

Wine and chocolate go hand in hand…in my opinion!  And when you combine a collection on a delicious charcuterie you’ve got a sweet treat that won’t disappoint!  Halloween will be different this year.  Our annual tradition of meeting friends for a multi family dinner party & passing out treats just isn’t going to happen this holiday.  As disappointing as that may be, it’s temporary and we can still find many ways to make the night special!  One treat I’m planning is to surprise my hubby with a wine and chocolate dessert board we can share!  Piled with full-bodied flavor and rich dark colors, this grazing tray is perfect for All Hallows Eve!  The drinks might be for the adults but you can substitute with any favorite mocktail for the 21 and under crowd!  And to please the entire family, we might just fire up the patio heaters and watch a holiday movie outdoors. So if you’re handing out treats, taking the goblins out, or just staying at home…wind down your Halloween festivities with a special treat made just for the grownup ghosts!

A Halloween pot pie will be a delicious & easy meal to serve to your family before your holiday festivities.  It’s one of my family’s favorites and I’m sharing my semi-homemade recipe that doesn’t disappoint!  I LOVE one-pot (or pie) meals that are filling, yummy AND quick!  No matter what your celebrations look like this year, you can whip this up in a snap…and dress it for the season too!  Using a purchased crust is how I roll…but you can certainly make your own if you wish.  Grab your favorite Halloween cookie cutter too…and let’s get this pot pie in costume!

Strawberry muffins are a wonderful breakfast choice to serve on a summer day.  A fresh, juicy strawberry can make anything taste wonderful and the flavor is so lovely for the season.  Serving up a cheerful breakfast or snack now and again is one way I try to make these days of “new normal” a little more normal!  And these delicious muffins are slightly reminiscent of a strawberry shortcake…which by themselves can make an ordinary morning meal extra special!  Today I’m going to show you how to create an “any day” celebration with the simplest goodies.  I’m sharing the  simple muffin recipe and a sweet way to serve them up…making a summer morning strawberry-licious!  Let’s get right to it…

Yogurt parfaits are a popular treat at my house!  Not only are they super easy to make, but they’re a healthy breakfast choice OR snack and you can top them with all sorts of goodies!  Some of my favorite toppings include fresh fruit, honey, and homemade granola. (I’ll share my recipe at the end of the post!)  Since it looks like we’ll be keeping our summer celebrations limited to family or small groups of friends, making an ordinary treat look extra special seems like a great idea to brighten the experiences!  So I’m sharing a really fun way to dress up & serve individual parfaits for a sweet treat that tastes as good as it looks!  Make simple joys extra special…whether at the breakfast table, or a coffee with a girlfriend or two!  See the fun inspiration…
