Foodness Gracious - Week 38

In partnership with

Recipes

For those who have kiddos that enjoy a summer break from school, those days are coming to a close. Kids are starting to feel a mixture of excitement (for the upcoming school year) and depression (for the fact that homework is on the horizon).

But this is a different feeling for parents and guardians.

When school is back in session that means more time for peace and quiet. More time for yourselves. More time for mindfulness.

Oh, yes, and more time for treating yourself to a summer survived with a glass of wine and some cheese!

Check out our 5 Must Have Cheeses for a Cheese Board to set yourself up for a truly relaxing afternoon. Enjoy the wine. Enjoy the cheese.

Enjoy the silence…Enjoy the cheese!

Reviews

The 5 cheeses above are amazing when you are looking to treat yourself to a glass of wine and a great book.

If you’re like us and have friends over from time to time, you also might ask yourself, “What snack food should I set out while we’re just hanging out?”

Our go-to answer is a quick and simple charcuterie board with some meats and cheeses. The cheeses above in our 5 Must Have Cheeses paired with some cured meats (such as salami or prosciutto), some stone ground mustard, and some crackers and you have yourself a great snack or appetizer (and if you eat too much of it, you’ve had your meal!).

Take your charcuterie skills to the next level with the cheese board (in the photo below) that we purchased and you will look like a 5-star restaurant! It is perfect for a date night, group gathering or even the upcoming football season.

Responsibility

We all know processed foods are not the best for our gut health, cholesterol, weight management, and blood pressure. A little here and there in doses curbs the craving, but they can be so addicting!

In our recent article, 10 Reasons to Avoid Processed Foods, we help educate you on the types of processed foods (no, they aren’t all the same) and provide some reasons to avoid these foods that perhaps you didn’t know already.

Foodness Fun - Poll Results

Last week we asked our Foodness Followers about their favorite accompaniment for dessert:

Whipped Cream or Ice Cream

The results are in and it turns our 50% of our Foodness Followers couldn’t make the choice between the two! Instead, they love to put a little of both on their favorite dessert.

I can’t say I disagree. Thank you to all for voting!
