How to Make an Epic Cheeseboard (with Trader Joe’s Items!)

How to Make an Epic Cheeseboard with items from Trader Joe's! See more on Shutterbean.com

For the past few years, I have cheese board duty whenever my parents have a big get-together at their house.

FACT:

Once you make an epic cheeseboard, you can pretty much count on being bringing one to every party you attend.

It’s important to make a good cheese board because that’s what gets a party started! You need a variety of things…all spread out because we all need a little space when we’re hovering around a table, mindlessly eating before someone figures out how much of the good salami we’ve eaten.

Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

Small Batch Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza -makes enough for 2-4 people. Recipe on Shutterbean.com

My father-in-law was visiting recently and I wanted to make something special for him. He’s just like my husband in that he LOVES treats. He also likes to watch what he eats, so I went with this small batch Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza recipe from Sweet & Simple.

Christina, you had me at cream cheese frosting, girl.

Small Batch Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza -makes enough for 2-4 people. Recipe on Shutterbean.com

And of course, it was PERFECT for the 4 of us. Everyone got a piece!

No leftovers.

No extra bites and “samples.”

(even though we all WANTED to eat more because this cookie is GOOD)

I could really get used to this small batch lifestyle.

Also still obsessed with:  small batch chocolate cupcakes!
