Patriotic picnic snacks can be super easy and still be festive!  If you’re like me, this spring has been extra crazy and simple ideas that I can pull off are much appreciated!  After taking some time off to celebrate both my boys graduating (from HS AND college!)

So today I’m sharing a few simple ways to create patriotic picnic snacks that you can add to your 4th of July BBQ with no extra fuss! It’s time to start celebrating again…but we should keep the stress at bay!  Take a peek at a few ways you can bring some delicious joy to your holiday festivities…

Wine and Chocolate Charcuterie DIY!

Wine and chocolate go hand in hand…in my opinion!  And when you combine a collection on a delicious charcuterie you’ve got a sweet treat that won’t disappoint!  Halloween will be different this year.  Our annual tradition of meeting friends for a multi family dinner party & passing out treats just isn’t going to happen this holiday.  As disappointing as that may be, it’s temporary and we can still find many ways to make the night special!  One treat I’m planning is to surprise my hubby with a wine and chocolate dessert board we can share!  Piled with full-bodied flavor and rich dark colors, this grazing tray is perfect for All Hallows Eve!  The drinks might be for the adults but you can substitute with any favorite mocktail for the 21 and under crowd!  And to please the entire family, we might just fire up the patio heaters and watch a holiday movie outdoors. So if you’re handing out treats, taking the goblins out, or just staying at home…wind down your Halloween festivities with a special treat made just for the grownup ghosts!

New Year’s Eve Celebrations…Charcuterie Style!

New Year’s Eve celebrations are just days away…but you can still party in grand style with an easy charcuterie that will be certain to impress!  Charcuterie boards are one of my favorite appetizers because they’re super simple to put together even for a last-minute party!  While a “true” charcuterie would mean a platter full of meats…the definition to many has gradually changed to a “grazing board”.  This means you can now add just about ANYTHING you want to your edible display!  New Year’s Eve is a perfect opportunity to create this beautiful array of goodies to serve to friends and family.  Pull together all the leftover treats from Christmas and serve them right on the tabletop…no special trays or platters needed!  I’m really excited to partner with Fun to Eat Fruit to bring you some inspiration for sipping and nibbling the night away!  I promise it’s easy and simple but will look every bit as festive as the holiday itself!  The year is coming to an end and I’ll wrap it up with my favorite phrase…celebrate simple and celebrate often!
