Nourishment Rehab
We’re going to tag along on the vision board and ask ourselves, “What are our expectations?”. If you could learn, change or grow in any areas of nourishment what will it be? What does nourishment mean to you?
By definition, nourishment is food or other substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition. In my book that speaks for the mind, body, and soul. So we’re going to do our best to regularly feed all those parts.
This month we’re going to highlight one of my favorite dishes.
Drum roll say it with me, (Shahr- koo -tuh-ree) charcuterie board. These amazing displays of inspiration are great for any occasion, are super versatile, and are super easy to make. They are basically adult lunchables on a pretty platter or board.
Let’s talk charcuterie
I love love love a great charcuterie board!!! It’s basically an assortment of your favorite things to create an array of flavor combinations. As stated before you can pretty much put anything on a board but if you’ll like to try your hand at one of the store-like boards here are some of my faves.
Cheese- Boursin, goat, brie, manchego
Nuts- almonds, pistachios, pecans (candied) (seasoned)
Meat- prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, turkey
Bread- baguette, crackers (watercress) my fav, pretzels
Jam/jelly- fruit, spiced, honey,
Fruit- (dried or fresh) cherries, strawberries, apricot, apples,
Being mindful not to pick fruits that oxidize quickly i.e. bananas unless eaten quickly
Or you can go by your flavor palates and textures
Salty
Sweet
Crunchy
Soft
Smooth
My Restaurant Pick
My pick for this month is Postino. It’s located in town and country by Memorial City Mall. They offer incredible service, a great atmosphere, and pretty good boards at a very reasonable price. My Friend Quentin and I had a wonderful time there just snacking and cracking up in laughter. We ordered the skewers under the snacky things sections and they did not disappoint. Two skewers, one grilled petite filet, and one grilled chicken on a bed of Sicilian garlic yogurt what a light and refreshing taste, most definitely will order it again. Our board was from the choice of 4 and from left to right Brie, Apple & Fig Spread, Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato
Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil, and Mushroom & Mascarpone followed with 2 glasses of wine, now it’s a party!
