Putting Together a Simple Cheese Platter – Plus Giveaway

I’m so excited to be partnered with Charles Viancin, Cabot, and Le Creuset for an amazing giveaway and to share with you a cheese platter easy enough for anyone to put together!

Now, I don’t drink alcohol, but I love fancy cheeses and cheese platters. It’s always fun to have a reason to celebrate and relax with family and/or friends.

I don’t know about you, but being a stay at home mom has me coming up with lots of reasons to celebrate. Mostly because I’m stuck in the house with the kids a lot and like to keep things interesting and fun!

Putting Together A Simple Cheese Platter

When I put together a cheese platter I like to keep it simple and yummy! We love using Cabot cheese because it’s so flavorful and there is a lot of variety to choose from.

I sliced up some Cabot cheese and put it on a platter with mini french bread slices (you could also use crackers) and some yummy salami! Since I don’t drink alcohol I like to make it kid friendly. My kids love getting in on the fun too! We served grape juice with our cheese tray and it was perfect.

This takes literally 5 minutes to put together, but looks amazing. You could serve it up at a family get together, party, or just for your family at home!

Giveaway

I’m so excited to share this giveaway from you! For their Cheese & Cheers campaign Cabot, Le Creuset, and Charles Viancin will be giving away some amazing prizes. One lucky winner will receive the prizes listed below.

Le Creuset Small Wine Carafe, Charles Viancin drink markers and wine stopper, and a yummy assortment of cheeses from Cabot, including:

  • 2 bars Farmhouse Reserve Cheddar
  • 2 bars Alpine Cheddar
  • 2 bars White Oak Cheddar
  • 1 bar Seriously Sharp
  • 1 bar New York Vintage
  • 1 small cheese knife and 1 wine opener

This giveaway is open to residents of the US 18+. Entering is easy using the widget below!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

What are you celebrating this month? Which Cabot cheese would you most like to try? I would love to hear from you in the comments below!
