This weekend we are hosting some friends to watch the Super Bowl and I have been planning our menu. Yes, I know, the Cowboys are not in the Super Bowl and are kind of terrible, but a girl can dream! The easiest thing for me to whip up when hosting is a simple cheese board. I usually have a few types of cheese in the fridge, and I pretty much always have prosciutto on hand. I like to offer something creamy (usually brie), sharp cheddar, and either gouda or something strong (like blue cheese). Trader Joe’s has a great cheese selection for a reasonable price as well as a large box of assorted crackers to please all guests. I also like to add nuts, dried fruit, and honey or jam to give either a savory or sweet flavor. Trader Joe’s sells honey with the honeycomb in the jar, and I like to add the honeycomb to the board for presentation (yes, you can eat the honeycomb). A few other things on our Super Bowl menu will be spicy chicken salad, spinach artichoke dip, sausage balls, and of course chips, queso, and guacamole. Shop my cheese board and knives as well as a few other favorites below! xoxo
