Summertime and the Livin’s
Cheesy

I get together with my extended family about twice a year and I always treat them to a cheese plate. Our most recent family reunion was this past weekend; I needed something both refreshing enough for a hot summer day and approachable for almost 20 people. 
I chose an array of refreshing cheeses with light accoutrements, fixings which are easily found at
