An Effortless Dessert Board!

An effortless dessert board is just what you need for impromtu gatherings!  Using baked goods (homemade or from the grocer) and a little fresh fruit, you can create the perfect sweet treat! I love keeping an assortment of dessert bread or pound cakes in the freezer just in case I need to serve something last-minute.  They pair wonderfully with fruit, spreads, whipping cream or ice cream…all of which you may already have on hand!  All you have to do is slice them up, pile them on a pretty platter and serve!  I’ll share a board I recently made using sweets right from my freezer and pantry!  And I’ll include our favorite dessert bread recipes too!  So grab a tray…

time for effortless dessert!

Wine and Chocolate Charcuterie DIY!

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!
