Do you need a quick Friday night charcuterie board? I've got your back. We're going to make an easy fruit and cheese charcuterie board today, and you will love it! The best part? You will have enough materials to keep making this for days. And by the way, I am HERE for the skinny dipped chocolate almonds. I'm not ruling out the almonds and a glass or 5 of wine for dinner. Just saying.

This easy fruit and cheese charcuterie board is SO YUM! Strawberries, apples, raspberries, blueberries, brie, irish cheddar, blue cheese, and chocolate almonds.

We ~~frequently~~ always (we never go out, we have kids, send help), stay home for date night. I always make a charcuterie board and we rarely make it to dinner without being too full of amazing wine, fruit, cheese, and prosciutto. There are no phones allowed, no TV. If the weather is nice, we sit on the back porch and eat and drink and talk and listen to music until the middle of the night. It gets us through, IT GETS . US . THROUGH.

Why we should just eat charcuterie for dinner:

It's pretty: That's a thing for me. Pretty food=more satisfying.
Pairs well with any wine: Cooper and Thief Red Wine Blend is my go-to for just about everything, but the sweetness of the fruit is amplified. See my favorite red wines this winter.
Berries have the lowest carbs: Berries are a good choice if you are watching your carbs, apples come in second.
It's cheaper to make at home: No need to go to a fancy restaurant, you can make a phenomenal fruit and cheese board for just a few dollars.
You can make it your own: You do YOU. Meat and cheese, do it. Skinny breadsticks, do it. Honey, do it.
