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

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 the one who brings 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.

Let me show you:

Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

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.
