Easy Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board

A charcuterie board has never been so fun to make! Everything you get in a traditional charcuterie board shaped into a festive Christmas tree!

It's simple to assemble, it just takes a little bit of chopping and some basic artistic planning.

This is a family friendly charcuterie board and it's adaptable to swapping out some of the things I've shown here for things you may already have. The idea is just to stick to that simple red, green, and white/yellow theme for those classic Christmas colors. Then of course just keep the "Christmas tree" shape as you go.

A delicious holiday project that may just become a new family tradition at each yearly holiday gathering!

The Perfect Summer Pasta Salad

What would summer be without at least one cookout or picnic that includes a vibrant and perfectly enjoyable, cold pasta salad?

This will quickly become a new favorite because there is so much goodness and an abundance of fresh flavor. Each of the ingredients blend exceptionally well together, each one complimenting the other.

It has a harmonious blend of textures as well. There's a nice trio of crisp, soft, and chewy.

This makes a very hearty and satisfying side dish that pairs well with grilled chicken, beef or fish.

Just one thing to note - it does make a very large salad, or enough for a small crowd. The recipe will halve nicely for a family dinner.

Or just make the full recipe anyway and serve the leftovers the following day for lunch.
