There are very few foods which are better than cheese and wine, especially when you are celebrating the season of parties and friendly get-togethers. I also know how impressive a good cheese board can be. For some reason, many people find them really complicated to put together. I know I felt that way once. At one point I didn’t even know what cheeses I should put on the board or even what board I should use. I really overthought this whole process. Then I stopped overthinking it and realized I had access to a pretty good source on cheese and deli boards, my mom. She used to work as a manager for a high-end grocery store in the deli and cheese department. She spent years recommending cheeses and meats and putting together beautiful cheese boards for some fancy people. So I asked her for some tips and advice on putting one together.Read More

Since that day, I’ve been finding ways to include eggnog in some everyday recipes. I mean, the holidays are coming so why not, right? Read More
