Charcuterie Board.

Say it with me:

CHAR-cute-er-ree Board

LOL

I know I'm crazy, but I love to say it 

and I think it's a funny little word for what 

we've always called a meat and cheese board.

[Remember getting those from Hickory Farms years ago?!]

So. Apparently they are ALL the rage these days 

and I've been wanting to give it a go -  

I take a little get-a-way a couple of times a year with some crafty friends.

Yes - scrapbooking - 

I STILL dabble in it a bit.

- mostly travel photos these days - 

Anyhow - we each sign up for a meal and most recently mine was lunch - 

I didn't want anything too heavy so I 'made' a green salad...

[ha - I opened a bag -]

 

and this charcuterie board.

Let's see if I can remember everything on it - 

First, I got this [square] blue tray at Old Time Pottery for $5 - 

then I gathered bits of goodness while shopping -

There's ham, turkey, and cheese chunks...

Peppers, olives, radishes, and carrots...

Apples, oranges, and blueberries... 

and crackers...

And I cooked frozen spanakopita to add a little crunch and goodness.

... tried to keep it full of goodness that would top a salad well...

Garnished with whole radishes with stems.

So cute. 

And the best part? 

It was almost all gone.

And can be affordable if you shop Aldi's and Big Lots!
