Skip the holiday dessert and end the meal with this course
When a holiday meal is served, it tends to be different than the typical weeknight dinner. From special recipes to more food options, usually no one leaves hungry. Although a holiday dessert is often a sweet ending to that feast, it does not have to be the only choice. Why not end the meal with a cheese course and taste the difference.
While many people have perfected the cheese board, creating a cheese course is similar. The idea is to offer a variety of flavors and textures. Whether it is a plate full of favorites or a few new cheeses to discover, this food idea can be far more exciting than just another slice of pie.
