I’ve long preferred a spread of snacks than a heavy meal. When I was a kid this sort of meal was referred to as a poo-poo platter. Around the office I’ve heard it called “pick up eats.” Pinterest rebranded this superior dining experience as the more chic charcuterie board, which are typically centered around cured meats, slices of cheese or maybe baked brie. The first time I put together a vegan charcuterie board, I was not very inspired, but it has become a fun way to add a little variety and make any family evening feel like a celebration.
Celebrations large or small can leave me feeling like I need to entertain guests while also prepare an amazing meal. Mix and match to your heart’s desire!
