Let’s be clear, nobody needs a reason to eat chocolate + cheese.

They’re like the Khloe and Lamar of reality TV! The vodka and kombucha of “healthy” drinks! The dirty Italian hipster and mullet of Europe! The skinny jeans and ballet flats of fashion! The Twitter and Facebook of social media! The Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Gosling of my dreams!

Metaphors for chocolate + cheese…I can keep going…just say the word.

But if you do need a reason – a very simple yet valid reason to craft a chocolate + cheese plate all your own – then I’ve got the perfect one for you: the daily grind. If it’s one of “those” days where all you want to do is go home, take off your bra and face plant into your bed with a bottle of wine and watch the movie Beaches, then this Everythingtarian-crafted cheese plate is for you.

It’s got my favorite cheese (it’s a Wisconsin Cheese, obvs).

My favorite carb.

My 2nd favorite nut.

My favorite nut butter.

And my favorite dessert wine all on a plate built for one.

But you’ll have to check out my guest post for Wisconsin Cheese Talk to get it.

Do it. I double dog donkey dare you.

And for more cheese pairing ideas, let your friend the Cheese Cupid help your tastebuds out.

Word to yo motha.

05.10.2012

Sometimes I sit down at my computer to write…and nothing. My brain is mush. My thoughts are devoid of the ability to form coherent sentences. My humor has given way to yawns and cups of tea in preparation for bedtime. And I am totally torn between blogging and the irresistible pull of watching episodes of [...]

Easy Avocado Dressing

05.07.2012

You know your mama was right when she said don’t judge a book by its cover, don’t you? Because it’s true…especially when it comes to food! There’s a good chance you’re looking at the photo below with your head ever-so-slightly cocked to one side and the corners of your mouth pursed as you debate what exactly this [...]

My 2nd Marathon

05.05.2012

Exactly one week ago, I ran my second marathon. And I have no idea how I did it! Literally, I ran a total of four times in the month leading up to the marathon. While part of the blame is due to the kidney infection (I couldn’t run for two weeks) and the proceeding flu [...]
