Perfect Board for Gathering

After a beautiful summer, it’s time to reconnect with friends and family, so what better way than to host a cocktail party with a delicious cheeseboard. For today’s cheese board I used a marble serving tray with a beautiful gold edge (linked here). I placed sweetened dried orange slices (from Trader Joes) atop a Fromager d’Affinois seasonal cheese with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. Since this cheese is creamy (like a brie), I created a few bite sized crostini for guests to enjoy with a bit of jam and a sprig of thyme on top. Alongside my board, I served blackberries and almonds (in a cute little set like this one), and yes, I whipped out my first white pumpkin!

After creating this board I am eagerly awaiting Fall!! If you are ready to start dusting off the pumpkins like I am, there is no shortage of inspiration in this section! Happy end of summer, everyone!
