Entertaining With Simple Mills Crackers and Cookies

As many of you have heard by now, Seth and I recently moved to a new apartment in Ukrainian Village! We are so excited to be in a larger apartment with a huge outdoor rooftop deck. It’s given us so many new opportunities to (safely) host our friends for socially distant gatherings outside! 

One of my favorite ways to spruce up any gathering is to put together a delicious charcuterie board for our guests. Since I haven’t been eating pork for the last 1.5 years, I’ve recently been opting for just simple cheese and veggie boards. 

That’s why I’m so glad I discovered Simple Mills this summer, as their products are made with minimal, whole and nutrient-dense ingredients, and offer the most delicious variety of goodies perfect for any snacking occasion. Found at local Meijer stores, they really are the easiest way to spruce up your party sweet/snack offering—your guests will love you for it!

The Fine Ground Sea Salt Almond Flour Crackers paired so well with my cheese board - the subtle nutty notes and touch of sea salt offered the perfect balance to the various cheeses and spreads. These crackers are made with a wholesome blend of almond and seed flour, and I truly think I’ve finally found my cracker soulmate. I paired my crackers with some fresh chevre, gouda and goat cheese, and topped off each bite with some sweet pepper jelly. I also added some unique touches to my board, such as figs and radishes, to provide some texture and variety to the mix!

Of course, I couldn’t forget to treat my guests with something sweet, and the Crunchy Chocolate Chip cookies from Simple Mills were the perfect way to cap off something delicious yet not too sweet for the ideal feel-good snack. These cookies are made with whole food ingredients, with no artificial additives, and the quality is apparent in the taste and the way you feel after.  Many of you know I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, but I really think I’ll be craving these cookies time and time again. They were also adorable and mini in size but still packed with so much flavor in every little bite. Paired with a glass of your favorite milk substitute (oat, soy, or almond), and you’ve got yourself the ideal snack for all hours of the day!
