Game day cheese plate

One of our favorite ways to spend a Sunday in the fall is home with football on, fall candles ablaze, and good food, snacks, and baking projects (for me!) all day. It’s October and today is the first Sunday we’ve both been home to enjoy our tradition, so this afternoon called for a solid Trader Joe’s taste test.

I went a little crazy at Trader Joe’s earlier this week in anticipation of today. I found multiple dips, cheeses, crackers, and seasonal items and we used several to create a little cheese plate today. I added some fruit, which my husband begrudgingly ate immediately so he could get down to business with “the healthy stuff out of the way.”

You can’t go wrong with a pile of different cheeses, but our favorites were the Old Amsterdam gouda, Syrah soaked Toscano, and a limited edition hatch chili Beehive hunk of deliciousness.
