Let’s make the VIRAL charcuterie chips!

I’m constantly inspired by the amazing creators out there, and yesterday was no different. When I saw Marissa @thatcheeseplate make these, I had to try them—and they did not disappoint!

Here’s what I used:
✨ Kettle chips, @capecodchips
✨ Gouda, @boarshead_official
✨ Prosciutto, @principeitalia
✨ Fig jam, @stonewallkitchen
✨ Fresh thyme, @stopandshop

Pro tip: Shred your own cheese for the best melt, and crisp up your prosciutto before adding it to the chips. Bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, then serve immediately.

Salty, crispy, cheesy perfection—who’s trying these? I’m excited to experiment with different versions! What ingredients would you love to see?? Let me know in the comments ⬇️⬇️

🌹FRESH MOZZ ROSE ⬇️

The key is to slice thin — a handheld cheese slicer works wonders, but a super sharp knife will do the trick too.

Once your slices are ready, gently layer them one by one in a circular motion to form the perfect rose shape. Roll the last piece into a bud to complete the bloom! 🧀

POV: You love flowers and food 🌸🍴

Inspired by @makefoodlovely , I had to try this super easy and fun DIY gift idea! Perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself 😉).

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Grab bamboo cones and long toothpicks.
2️⃣ Use the toothpick to punch a hole through the bottom of the cone from the inside—it becomes your “stem.”
3️⃣ Assemble your bouquet with your favorite charcuterie board treats!

Here’s what I used:
* Premium salted mixed nuts (no peanuts for me, just quality nuts!), @costco
* Pepperoni, @margheritameats
* Dark chocolate caramels, @sanderscandy
* Cubed aged cheddar, @crackerbarrelcheese
* Rosemary crackers, @la_panzanella

I may not be a lover of snow, but I am definitely a lover of cheese—and this snowman is one I’m excited to build! ⛄🧀

Here’s how to make your own cheesy snowman:

- Stack three different-sized cheese rounds—Brie (8oz sliced in half) for the largest base, Gouda for the middle, and a smaller Brie round or a piece cut with a cookie cutter for the head.

- No circular cheese? Use a cookie cutter to shape your favorite kinds.

- Decorate with black olives for the eyes, mouth, and buttons, cheddar for the nose, cucumber for the hat, prosciutto for the scarf, and rosemary for the arms.

My kitchen just got an upgrade, and I needed to create something fun. Enter—this SWEETHEART PEPPERONI PIZZA! ❤️🍕 Thanks to the @hexclad Hybrid Pizza Steel, every slice has the perfect crispy crust. #gifted

Here’s how I made it:
I used store-bought pizza dough, rolled it out, and baked it on the pizza steel for 5 minutes at 400°F. Then, I added my toppings—sauce, mozzarella, and the cutest pepperoni hearts (just fold your pepperoni in half and cut out hearts with kitchen shears, just like you did as a kid!). Back in the oven for 15-20 minutes!

The @hexclad Hybrid Pizza Steel heats up fast and evenly with its tri-ply construction, making it perfect for pizzas up to 14”. Oven-safe to 900°F and even BBQ-friendly, this lightweight, two-handled design makes pizza night a breeze. Ready to fall in love with your crust? 💕

Do yourself a favor and grab yours at @hexclad and upgrade your pizza game!

GOUDA STYLING HACK⬇️

Take your Gouda presentation to the next level with this simple hack! With just a handheld cheese slicer and its ICONIC red wax casing, you can create a show-stopping centerpiece for your next board.

What You’ll Need:
- Handheld cheese slicer
- Knife

How-To
1️⃣ Hollow Out the Wax Casing – Use your slicer to carefully cut around the edge of the Gouda, removing the top portion of the red wax. You can decide how thick or thin you want to slice.

2️⃣ Save the Cheese – Scoop out the Gouda and cube or slice it for snacking or plating later.

3️⃣ Create the Display – Add the cubed cheese back into the hollowed-out wax casing for a fun and eye-catching way to serve your Gouda!

⚠️ Disclaimer: Gloves weren’t used here for demo purposes. Always wash your hands and follow food safety protocols when serving guests.

Who says Valentine’s gifts have to be sweet? 💕 Savory gifts can steal hearts too!

Fill a heart-shaped box with cheeses, meats, crackers and, of course, still add that touch of chocolate!

#charcuterieandthings #valentineday #foodstyling #cheese #foodgifts #charcuterieboard

Switch things up with a unique board shape—like this heart-shaped board. Instead of the usual cheese and charcuterie, try colorful crudités in vibrant, unexpected hues.

HOT TIP: Keep edges neat to keep the board’s shape clean and visible!

SALAMI ROSE - two ways ⬇️⬇️

Salami Roses
1. Tools: 2oz condiment cup and 11 salami slices
2. Layer: Place 5 slices halfway over the first one around the cup.
3. Create the bud: Fold 6 slices of salami in half with the rounded side up. Layer the folded slices on top of the other right to left.
4. Roll: Start rolling from one end to the other, securing the base as you go.
5. Finish: Gently spread the “petals” to create a rose shape.

Salami Rosettes ⬇️
1. Stack: Lay out a few slices of salami in a straight line, slightly overlapping each other.
2. Roll: Roll the entire line of salami slices into a tight spiral.
3. Secure: Use a toothpick to hold the rosette together.

PRO TIP: Mix and match different types of salami for added texture and flavor. 🌟

HOW TO SERVE A SALAMI ROSE ⬇️

I get asked all the time: “How do you eat a salami rose? Do you just shove the whole thing in your mouth?!” 😂 Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

Nobody wants to be the first to break apart the rose (it’s almost too pretty to touch), but when the time comes, here’s the trick:

👉 Use mini serving tongs! These little helpers let you grab individual slices without ruining the entire masterpiece.
Pro tip: Start from the middle of the rose. This way, it stays tidy and easier to share. No mess, no stress—just delicious bites for everyone to enjoy. 🍴

Comment ROSE and I will send you the essentials I use for making/serving mine!
