I hope you are following along with me as I share my tips on easy entertaining. Last time I shared a Valentine’s Tablescape with all the trimmings here and today, I’m sharing one of my simple, little effort wine and cheese tray. This tray is a staple for me and I make sure I have a few items on hand so I won’t have to make a last minute trip to the market.
This tray took five minutes to throw together and now I’m relaxing with friends and the best part is little to no clean up.
Tip- have some crackers, nuts, dried fruit, cheese, and something salty like pretzels on hand.
Tip- keep a bottle of red and white wine in your bar. Don’t spend a fortune on wine. $8-$10 bucks is sufficient. For guest who prefer nonalcoholic beverages, have some bottled tea or water. We don’t drink sodas so I don’t feel right recommending them but if you like sodas by all means, have them to offer as well.
Tip- serve items on a cute tray with napkins. It’s all about presentation.
Voila’! You have just created a simple yet welcoming sign for your guest.

Enjoy,
