Chocolate & Cheese

Chocolate & Cheese 

I’ve shared before how we absolutely fell in love with the little markets, fresh food, fine cheese, chocolate, and wine.

One of our favorite meal combinations involved giants hunks of super sharp, aged cheese, delectably dark French chocolate, a touch of almond butter (yes, I walked for an entire day to find this item of joy), fresh peaches… oh, the salty – sweet – crunchy – soft deliciousness of this heavenly combination drives me to the moon and back. I just love it.

So, often, I feel the need to recreate that experience at home.
Now, there were often times inside that bowl of goodness, we added amazing salumi, avocados, fresh veggies from the market, toasted chestnuts, raw almonds…and more. They are all truly fabulous together – taste and texture –

But, the items that must NOT be absent from each mouthwatering morsel are as such: cheese, chocolate, almond butter, and fruit. (peaches are the best, but berries will suffice).

After a superb splash of richly bold red wine, I relax on the sofa, close my eyes, and fill my mouth, mind, and spirit with all that I love about France.
