Now a days I try to make things easy and much simpler.
Using a chacutrie board accomplishes making things simpler when there are group of people coming for a meal. I make a list, purchase what is required and the day of the function I place all my items on the board. I love to use the chacutrie board because it eliminates so many dishes and serving platters. Here is an example of what you can do.
I hope you will give a chacutrie board a try at your next get together.
ENJOY!
