I just wanted to do a quick post about our Valentine tradition. For a few years now, we have done a fun finger food platter and sweet goodies.
Yesterday we were in Waco all day and I didn’t get the chance until the day of to run to the little grocery store here and get the items for my newly acquired Charcuterie board. The little town we are in doesn’t have a grocery store so I had to go to the next town over. While they did have an HEB (and everyone from Texas says “AMEN!” We love our HEB’s) this one was pretty small. So our meat and cheeses were limited, but it worked.
To make a quick and easy and kid friendly charcuterie board, start with a few varieties of crackers, cheeses, and sliced meats. I threw in some dates and dried apricots and grapes that we dipped in marscapone cheese.
I melted some chocolate so we could dip apple slices, pineapple slices and pretzel sticks in. And HEB had some pretty chocolate dipped strawberries to add to the spread.
What are some of your favorite Valentine traditions?
~Enjoy the journey!
