Cheese lover snack



My niece Gina came over and loved this treat.

All Natural Rosemary Crisbread, Uniekaas Reserve Cheese, and Organic Adriatic Fig Spread.

The Rosemary Crispbread is a light, crunchy cracker that is made to perfection by using all natural ingredients and no oils. They are very flavorful, but smooth on the palette. I must say this is one of the simplest forms of crackers I have ever had. They are paper thin. Combined with the cheese and spread I am in Food Heaven.

Now for the Cheese. Uniekaas Reserve Cheese is my addiction in life. I mean it... this is lovely. It's a gouda cheese that is aged over 18 months. It's full bodied and strong. It has a little crunch to it too.

The FIG! Okay, I will admit I had never tasted fig spread prior to my friend; Felicia . Who introduced me to it during our ski trip., scrumptious addiction. Don't laugh I truly enjoy what I call "simple palette foods" and this is on the top of my list. I wasn't able to find a picture on line and I am to lazy to stop eating to take a picture. Maybe in a few days.

You can find all three of these simple palette foods at a whole food stores. I recently found the crackers at Publix. I literally went into shock. Ohh, and it's worth driving to an extra store a month to get all this.

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to have a glass of red wine along with my Cheese lover snack.

Grown in California; Figs


Tired of apples and bananas? Try figs. Another amazing fruit that is incredibly good for you and it's delicious. They have more calcium than bananas, high in iron,magnesium and fiber. Figs are usually found in the organic section at the grocery store. Enjoy... ohh, one more thing. There are several varieties out there. Black Mission my top fav.
