Simple Cheese BoardCheese Board by Leslie ReeseWeekends are a perfect time for last minute gatherings and thrown together happy hours. Some of the best times start with spontaneous invitations that turn into an evening full of laughs and catching up with great friends. When I find a party happening quickly I'll throw together a simple cheese board with some of my favorite things, open a bottle of wine and we're good to go. The key word is simple, not everything has to be over the top! Happy Friday!

Cheese Board by Leslie ReeseI assemble my cheese board right on top of an old cutting board that was made by my grandfather. I use this board for everything!

Cheese Board by Leslie Reese (6)I like to use cheese serving paper on my boards but if I don't have any, a brown paper bag works just as well. Write the name of the different cheeses on the paper instead of using cheese markers. Simple!
