August Dinner—Charcuterie and Cheese Platter

August 18, 2015 by Tonja Leave a Comment

It’s the summer slide at our house.  The dog days of summer are here and even I don’t feel like heating up the kitchen.  So here is the most delicious way to have dinner when you don’t feel like cooking.  A Charcuterie and Cheese platter.  One platter, four food groups, a glass of Rose’— no utensils needed.

When selecting the cheese, I like to include a variety of textures and flavors. Most cheese belongs to one of four basic categories: aged, soft, firm, or blue. For a good variety, choose at least one from each group. Here’s the spread, now dig in and enjoy.

Aged: SharpCheddar

Soft: Honey Goat Cheese

Firm: Mini Basque

Blue: Stilton

Your can find everything on my platter from Trader Joes.  They are reasonably priced and delicious.
