Bubbles & Boards!

As I have become more of a foodie, I have become more open to trying new flavors and combinations. One of my favorite combos has become charcuterie boards and champagne (champs, pronounced shamps for short).

A charcuterie board is a delicious masterpiece on a platter—a mix of savory meats, creamy cheeses, crisp crackers, and bursts of sweet and tangy goodness from fruits, nuts, and jams. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure of flavors that turns snacking into an art form. Whether you keep it classic or get creative, charcuterie is always a little fancy, a lot of fun, and perfect for sharing!

Speaking of fancy… Champagne is pure celebration in a glass—light, bubbly, and effortlessly elegant. Each sip is a tiny explosion of crisp, refreshing joy, making even the simplest moments feel like an occasion. Whether you’re toasting to something big or just adding a little sparkle to the day, champagne is always the answer. Pop, fizz, cheers!

One of my favorite memories is a welcome to the neighborhood party, hosted by Dan (my amazing hubby) as I officially moved in with him. He invited our closest friends, our welcoming neighbors and created this amazing charcuterie spread. Talk about the perfect mix of fun and fancy—endless combinations of flavors, textures, and creativity.

Aaaaand you know what goes great with this gorgeous spread? Some bubbles!!!

“Cue the Veuve.”

I discovered this beautiful bottle with some friends and haven’t looked back since. Needless to say, Veuve has become my favorite champagne for every celebration. From a gathering of friends to Sunday morning mimosas, “life gives us endless reasons to celebrate—we just have to pop the cork!”

I think of effortless elegance, a perfect pairing of savory and bubbly, and a celebration on a board! It’s the ultimate mix of class and creativity—where rich cheeses, cured meats, and fresh bites meet crisp, sparkling sips. It’s a little fancy, a lot of fun, and always a good time!
