1. Popcorn

This classic movie night snack is a great way to bring comfort food to your board for those that are not huge fans of dairy or don't want to fill up on crackers.

2. Greek Yogurt and Honey

Greek yogurt and honey is an exciting way to add a sweet taste and new texture into your board.

3. French Onion Dip

This is definitely not your typical side sauce, but is surprisingly one of the tastiest dips for a cracker and cheese mix.

4. Cheesecake

Cheesecake is definitely one of the best ideas I have had for a charcuterie board. It pairs well with cheese and crackers if you are in need of something a bit sweeter. Not to mention, a sliver of cheesecake always makes a board seem fancier.

5. Chocolate covered espresso beans

This fun little add on to my charcuterie boards compliment the salty flavors of a classic cracker and dip so well and naturally. Being the huge chocolate lover that I am, I always keep these dark chocolate covered treats in the house at all times.

Use this quarantine time to get creative with friends and build something delicious on your days off of work! These are just a few of my favorite unorthodox board items, but there are thousands of ways to bring variety to your platter!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
