A cheerful welcome to the lovely new 2018!!! which brings more exciting adventures and satisfying tummies. It’s a time to celebrate.
Party time 2018
Pretty much all of us will be having get-togethers and parties. If you have your resolutions ready, I am sure you will strive to stick with it. I want to eat healthier…. so let’s begin this year with a bit of easy eating.
I love the nibblers at cocktail parties. More-so, I love the cheese platter. I noticed that my kids love the cheese platter too. The most eye-catching ones, of course, have a bit of colour from the fruit and a good quality cheese to pair with the drink. Going by that and steering away from the traditional cheese platter this time I decided to keep it simple, a bite of all the things you will find on a cheese platter in a tiny bite.
This was fun to assemble, with the kids wanting to help out it was perfect.
Cheese, grapes, basil and saltines… done.
Needless to say, it was loved by all. Luckily we had good stocks of the ingredients for a quick second round.
when you choose cheeses for the cheese plate make sure you have a couple of good quality cheeses. Here I have provided Brie and Gruyere. You could choose from great ones which pair well with the wine you are serving.
For example,
- Camembert or Gruyere and Chardonnay
- Mascarpone and dessert wines
- Aged cheddar and Malbec
- Gorgonzola and Port wine
- Feta or Gruyere and Pinot Noir
- Parmesan cheese and Prosecco

So cute..perfect party starter !
This is super easy and looks delicious! Will definitely try it
Thankyou.. send us a pic when you do.
I don’t think I could have made it any simpler. The finished platter looks attractive and the addition of the nutrition label is a welcome addition. Thanks for sharing. Oh, a little red could be added by substituting some of the grapes with some rosy red small cherry tomatoes. There are even some yellow ones too. Just a suggestion
Thankyou Jolesia. it is a useful suggestion to use a medley of colours…I will try with grape colours… and of course cherry tomatoes yumm.
These are just perfect little bites.
