THE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS CHEESE BOARD RECIPE

Thanksgiving looks a little different this year, and it’s a great time to shake up traditions. This is a great board for grazing before the big meal (during football and the parade and maybe even the dog show, if that’s your style) or even as a great way to get away from turkey when the time comes. Whatever your plans for this holiday, we hope you enjoy it with great food and company and in good health.

Here is a great spread by our friend and Registered Dietitian, Jenny Shea Rawn of My Cape Cod Kitchen, to get us all off on the right food/foot!  

“Goodbye boring cheese boards! This Atlantic Sea Farms Stay-At-Home Snacking Board beautifully showcases the three probiotic rich kelp ferments and pairs them with assorted rich and creamy cheeses, crisp crackers, satiating nuts plus briny olives and capers. This is a board for seaweed lovers (that’s you, right?!) and anyone who appreciates an exceptional and out-of-the-ordinary cheese board. We love it as a weekend mid-afternoon snacking board, but it’s also the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving or holiday spread.” -Jenny Shea Rawn
