How to Make a Delicious Cheese Board for Two

Blog· Food and Drinks

Do you ever watch a movie or show and get completely inspired to make a meal or a dish? As odd as it sounds, it happens more often than not. I love cooking so learning new dishes and trying new cooking techniques is always enjoyable.

I always thought I knew a lot about cooking but I have come to realize that I still have so much to learn. I recently watched Burnt starring Bradley Cooper and had an itch to try something new.  I have a serious issue with cooking way too much food and since it’s only me and my husband, I need to learn to stop. Not only does it cost so much money, it is also a waste of delicious food. I’m sure my neighbors get tired of me knocking on their door giving them all the food I cook.

“Cooking is an expression of who we are.” – Burnt

I have a serious obsession with cheese. I love a good cheese board but I find it so hard to make for only 2 people. My cheese boards can seriously feed 15 people and as much as I love it, I don’t need that much cheese. But trust me, I want all of it.

I miraculously made a cheese board for two that didn’t break the bank. Sometimes the best appetizers are the most simple. How to Make a Cheese Board for Two

Here’s what I bought:

Grapes – These are usually paid for by the pound, so only get what you need. It’s rare that you’ll need 2 pounds of grapes, so separate them and take only what you need.)

Olives – I’m not an ‘olive person.’ It’s actually one of the only things that I can think of that I really don’t like. Even though I’m not a fan doesn’t mean I won’t have it on my cheese board. I know my guests would want them, so I bought a small amount. Check  your local grocer, many times they’ll have olive bars where you can buy only what you need.

Castello Cheese – The older I get, the more I realize the quality of food and how much it matters. I’m absolutely crazy for Castello Cheese. They offer a large variety of cheese and they are my ‘go-to’ company for all things cheese. You can’t go wrong with them!

Apricot Jelly – Any type of sweet fruit would work in place of the jelly if you don’t like apricot. During peak season, blackberries and raspberries are my favorite.

What other tips do you have to making a great cheese board without breaking the bank?

 

Confession time: I love cheese.

    I think that apricot jelly is pure genius on a cheese board! I know it would go so well with the Castello Blue cheese!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
