Happy Friday, Friends! This Shishito Pepper Cheese Board has got to be one of my favorite boards that we served this summer. It’s full of farmer’s market fresh veggies (don’t forget the basil), and then of course, the star of the board: shishito peppers.

Friends, we recently hiked to the top of Tumalo Ridge, here in central Oregon. Our friends treated us to dinner on top of the mountain. This has got to be one of my most favorite summer memories.

Over the summer we’ve served plenty of grilled tri-tip and burgers, and a variety of charcuterie boards. We have many more ideas for you to come, with my new line of charcuterie and dinner boards that I will be selling. I’m very excited about this, and I think you will be, too!

Mosquitoes aside, we love eating outdoors.
