Quick and Easy Cheese Board and Home Grocery Delivery Special! Impress your family and guests by putting together a quick and easy cheese board for your next holiday party or family feast. This post is sponsored by Albertsons and Safeway but all opinions are my own. The holidays are here, ready or not! I love a holiday party and over the years I’ve learned a few tricks on how to make it easy and painless! One of my very favorite things to serve at a holiday party is a cheese board. It is always a crowd pleaser and the perfect guest whether it be a family gathering, an office party or a neighborhood potluck. People love to gather around the cheese board and try all the different cheeses, meats and other offerings. I love to keep all the ingredients for the cheese board on hand during the holidays because whether it is an unexpected guest or the arrival of out of town guests for the holidays, being able to put together a quick and easy cheese board in a matter of minutes is the perfect way to make them feel welcome. My kids love it when I have a cheese board waiting for them when they arrive home after a long flight. They are always hungry! Today I’m going to share with you how I quickly and easily put together my cheese board. Thanks to Albertsons and Safeway it comes together in literally minutes. One trip to your local Albertsons/Safeway store and you’ve got everything you need. If you don’t have time to actually go to the store many of the stores have grocery delivery service available!! Have you always wanted to try home grocery delivery!? Now is your chance. Albertsons/Safeway is offering all my readers a discount of $25.00 off and free delivery on a $100 minimum order. Use the code SEASONSEATINGS. Valid until 1/4/18. A good cheese board of course starts with cheese! I used a variety of cheeses from the O Organics® line and the Lucerne line. One of my favorites is the white cheddar cheese! The trick to a good cheese board is a good selection of cheeses! Be sure and check the deli section of the store for even more variety of cheeses. A little drizzle of something sweet over the cheese is an amazing combo. If you haven’t tried it, you must. Honey and jam are both good choices! A blackberry or raspberry jam is my favorite. In addition to a variety of crackers (I used the O Organics® Pita Crackers), I like to add in some nuts (almonds) and dried fruits (dates and apricots). I just add them in and around the other items on the board. I love the whole board to be covered with goodness. We also like some meat on our cheese board, especially my boys. You can fine a nice selection in the deli section of your local Safeway/Albertsons. Another favorite thing I add to my quick and easy cheese board is some hummus and baby peeled carrots, perfect for dipping! The final touch on the cheeseboard is some fresh fruit and herbs. I love to use dark purple grapes, a pomegranate and pear or apple slices. Just fit them in and around everything else that is already on the board. Fresh Rosemary or Sage make a lovely final touch to the cheese board. To recap, here is what you need: Selection of cheeses Variety of meats Nuts Dried Fruit Crackers Hummus Carrots Honey Jam Variety of fruit and fresh herbs The best part of the quick and easy cheese board is you can get everything you need in one stop. You will love all the oohs and ahhs you will get from your party guests too when they gather around the cheeseboard and see your beautiful creation. It’s so fun to eat too!

Peanut Butter Pie This Peanut Butter Pie is light and fluffy and full of peanut butter goodness. Crushed peanut butter cups on top are the perfect topping!Originally posted Oct. 14, 2009 I originally made this peanut butter pie for a pie competition at church. I didn’t win but my dish came home empty so I call that a winner. This last week we had a Christmas dinner at church and I was asked to bring a dessert so I decided this pie worked for a church dinner before, it would work again! The pie dish came home empty once again! Original post: At church this weekend we had a party. Everyone was to bring a homemade pie or homemade soup. There was going to be judging and prizes awarded! I decided to take a pie. My competitive edge went into high gear and I began searching through pie recipes. I decided not to do pumpkin or apple because I figured that everyone would do either pumpkin or apple given the time of year. A few weeks ago on my Beach Babe escape weekend we had enjoyed an amazing piece of peanut butter pie and it had been on my mind ever since. In my recipe search I came across a recipe for peanut butter pie I have had in my files for years. It had been ten years or more since I made it but I remembered it being pretty good so I decided that it would be my pie contest entry. The original recipe called for a graham cracker crust but since I can’t eat peanut butter without chocolate I made my crust out of chocolate cookies. (you can use Oreos too) All I had in the cupboard was natural peanut butter so I added a little bit of salt – about 1/4 tsp. and a little bit of sugar (just to taste) to sweeten it up a bit. If you using regular peanut butter you will not need to do that. The filling is a combination of peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipped cream and makes a nice light and fluffy filling – yum! I added extra whip cream on top and some broken up Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for an extra peanut butter punch and besides that it looked prettier. Now wouldn’t you pick this pie as a winner? Well, the judges didn’t -so sad! An apple pie was the winner! I think this recipe is a real winner though. So next time you get a craving for peanut butter and chocolate give this a try! Some of my other favorite peanut butter desserts: Peanut Butter Sheet Cake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Levain Bakery Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Peanut Butter Pie This Peanut Butter Pie is light and fluffy and full of peanut butter goodness. Crushed peanut butter cups on top are the perfect topping!
