Thanksgiving is less than a few weeks away! With November just beginning, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! I recently wrote an article for my friends at Organic Valley about prepping for Thanksgiving day. You can read it here, it has a ton of great tips on things you can prep up to 48 hours in advance! Prepping can help make Thanksgiving day a bit more relaxed so you can spend time with friends and family.
One of my tips is creating a cheeseboard the day before that is prepped and ready to pull out of the fridge on Thanksgiving day when people start bothering you for snacks. A cheeseboard is something that can be easily prepped the day before with cheese, olives, and fruits. It just needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out and keep it stored in the fridge. On turkey day, just pull that baby out and add some crackers and it's ready to go!
This type of appetizer is something that my mom and grandma made for literally every single holiday! It's very nostalgic for me, and it's also such an easy appetizer to make. I love a cheeseboard because you can easily snack, and there's always something for everyone.
Make sure you pick up some Organic Valley Grassmilk Raw Sharp Cheddar Cheese and Organic Prairie Uncured Beef Summer Sausage, as this recipe won't be the same without these! I cannot tell you how amazing this summer sausage is guys, seriously. And the grassmilk cheese is unreal, all of Organic Valley's grassmilk products are truly some of my faves and make a difference in taste as far as buying this versus just another cheese.
