This little piece is completely hand drawn (sans Apple Pencil) on an app called Sketchbook! I’ve only just begun to explore the realms of digital art & find it quite exciting; having created much of my art by hand for much of my life! This cute little recipe is the perfect respite from the scorching summer sun - quite literally - it’s summer in a bowl! Add a generous helping of fresh summer fruit, berries and perhaps even a handful of edible flowers to create the most scrumptious, icy-pink summer smoothie bowl, you’ve ever eaten x

Ok, I confess, I haven’t made fondue since the 80’s -when it was all the rage🙄 But this is an Easy, kid friendly recipe. Feel free to doctor it up to your liking. And now - more than ever- NO double dipping please!

For the "Gratefull" theme I wanted to show one of my favorite things ever, a cheeseboard! And since we cannot travel right now, I wanted to highlight some of the more famous cheeses from around the world - cheddar from England, Mozzarella from Italy, Manchego from Spain, etc.

Happy Drawing (and Cooking)!

Cheese board illustration for the GrateFull theme.

I love cheese and especially a good cheese board. I wanted to highlight some different cheeses that I enjoy along with some food that I enjoy eating with these cheeses. I specifically wanted to include fondue as I have a very fond memory of my first time having it, years ago on a family vacation in France.

GRATEFULL for cheese plates!

My favorite cheese recipe involves putting yummy cheese on a board with all sorts of yummy and beautiful things with it! Meats, crackers, breads, spreads, veggies, fruit - pretty much anything is fair game. We love this as a simple weeknight meal.

Be it game nights, parties or potlucks, nothing brings everyone together like the the savory goodness of a Charcuterie and Cheese Board.

It is quick to put together and has a good mix of flavors and textures to meet every guests palate.

For me, these boards are the perfect way to entertain and they have always helped me Cheese ( oops Seize) the day :)

Theme - GrateFULL

"L'apéro" in French is the aperitif. It's to have a drink but not only. We must have good things to eat, around 6PM, after a nice day at the beach. Otherwise it’s wrong. In Marseille, in the south of France, when the sun is still hot, we drink a glass of Pastis, Ricard, called "Jaune" (yellow) with olives, good crisp breads and .. good cheese cut with an Opinel (French knife). This is south of France!

My submission for GrateFULL.

This ones are really crunchy! It's not so easy to receive crunchy batch with gluten free flours and after more or less ups and downs I tested this recipe and fall in love with this small tasty breadsticks. The portion from this recipe is enough for about 15 minutes, so.. let's make double potion at once! :)

I love cheese so much I can eat them all day! And this recipe is definitely one of my favourites. Eat them as a snack or maybe a dessert (like me, sometimes.) Enjoy!

Suluguni cheese homeland - Georgia. It is a very popular ingredient in Russian cuisine. Here 's one of the recipes.
Сheese bags can be made with different fillings

Palitos de Queso, or fried cheese sticks, are a great and easy snack to make. In Colombia you can buy them everywhere and they are usually accompanied by sweet marmalade. They can be filled with mozzarella or any type of mild yellow cheese. My favorite are filled with cheddar and accompanied by pineapple or strawberry marmalade.

Whenever I have something big to celebrate, I like to do so with cheese in the most straight-up fashion: its pure, solid form, or melted into gooey deliciousness to dip my bread in.
