Tired of carrot sticks + hummus? No grab-and-go veggies at the ready? Just find an assortment of things in your fridge and pantry and arrange nicely on a plate. Voila! You don’t need to feel guilty about not having all the “right” amounts of protein or fresh veggies.
Bonus points if you have something that is not from a package or container, and Double Bonus points if you have something pretty to look at while eating!
This whimsical plate has medium curd cottage cheese (leftover from a casserole recipe) topped with a dollop of strawberry jam; the last two chunks of medium Tillimook cheddar cheese; half of a Honeycrisp apple, sliced; a small chunk of granola; a few raw walnuts; a few dried dark cherries; several mini La Panzanella artesan crackers.
