Eat Healthy for the Holidays

Lets entertain a little healthier this holiday season. It’s really easy and quite simple to do.  Every year we say “we’re gonna do it”. It does take a little planning and some creativity. It will be fun and so entertaining for you, your family and friends.

This year, get rid of all the refined sugar, sugar filled and over processed foods, snacks, and treats. It’s not hard to make this holiday healthy, fun, nutritious and delicious.

The idea is to display a tasty and fun variety of cheeses. This is a creative take on the boring traditional cheese party platter.
