Charcuterie Board for Two



Some nights we opt to do a simple wine & cheese meal instead of preparing a full dinner.  Today we found some tasty treasures at Aldi to create our own charcuterie board for two.  Aldi never disappoints with their endless variety of specialty cheeses for cheap, but our favorite find of the day had to be the Cheddar Sunflower Crisps.  We even found our Pinot Noir there!

The French term, "Charcuterie," is the art of preparing cured or smoked meats.  Here we have some Italian salami, hot sopressata, and capicolla.  We also included 3 types of cheddar: truffle, cave-aged, and cranberry studded.  Add some fruit, pickles or olives to your board and you've got a tasty  and romantic meal for two.

Cheers!

Any chili good chili recipe is constantly evolving (this is probably recipe #403 for our chili). The longer this chili simmers, the better! Serve with some crusty bread and top with your favorite chili toppings. We like a slice of lime, cilantro and this awesome beer cheese sauce from Guy Fieri . TIPS FOR REDUCING SPICE LEVEL:  Once you blend the chili sauce run it through a fine mess strainer to collect the seeds and stems from the chipotles and chilies. Of course, if you enjoy a five-alarm chili, you can skip this step and add the seeds to the chili.  Chili Sauce Ingredients: 4 dried chili peppers, we used 2 dried guajillo and two dried ancho chilie
