Cuisine Inspired Charcuterie Boards
With the holidays fast approaching, there are so many opportunities to host a party. But we are still at the beginning of November, so why not shake things up and surprise everyone with an off-the-cuff cuisine before you have to stick to all the traditional American favorites?
And the perfect start to any party, whether you are throwing a simple cocktail/game night shindig or putting together a dinner party of epic proportions, is a charcuterie board just overflowing with all the cheesy, oily, savory goodness.
Serving fettuccini, lasagna, or spaghetti, here is a little ITALIAN inspiration for your viewing pleasure. Don't forget the mini mozzarella balls, the pesto, and the dipping oil and breadsticks!:
