For as long as I can remember, Hickory Farms has been a part of the holidays. My grandmother uses their sausages and cheeses to keep everyone from getting impatient while waiting for the holiday meal to be ready….wait a minute, so do I. *gasp* I’ve become my grandmother!
This Thanksgiving was the first I have cooked for my family (yes, I know I am lucky). We usually go to either my mom’s or my grandmother’s but this year, neither was in the cards.
But, me being a smart multi-tasking mama and all, I stole borrowed my grandmother’s idea and used the Hickory Farms sausage and cheese to make a snack platter. It was quite successful in keeping the hungry vultures tween boys from whining that the turkey wasn’t ready yet.
Doesn’t that look yummy? (and nicely displayed if I might say so myself)
Our gift box came with two summer sausages and three different types of cheese- Pennsylvania Dutch Edam, Sharp Wisconsin Cheddar and Apple Pie Cheddar. I love cheese, especially sharp cheddar so that was obviously my favorite. My boys like the edam cheese, it was very mild in flavor.
So, for future reference, sausage and cheese platters keep hungry boys out of the kitchen on Thanksgiving…and they make great gifts too.
