Charcuterie - Made Simple

Charcuterie… it’s *almost* as fun to eat as it is to say!

Being a great way to spread your favorite bites of meat, cheese, and much more, it’s something our family loves to do together. We recently decided to get out our favorite large serving board and get a little creative.
