This Happy Place Cheese Board is a fun way to get the party started!
It’s summer weather and time for get-togethers to resume. I’m looking forward to seeing people in person again. If you know me, you know that involves food.
No matter what kind of gathering I throw there will be some sort of snack out for guests upon arrival. You are never going to need to wait to eat something.
That’s why I was drawn to this Happy Place Cheese Board from Demdaco.
The message reveals as your guests snack away! What a cute idea. There is even a guide for creating cheese boards on the back.

I received samples from Unreal Deli to review. I am under no further obligation. All opinions are my own.
Roasted Turk’y with Jalapeño Slaw adds a touch of spice to delicious vegetable based lunch meat. Topped with avocado and spinach to balance out the flavor. Serve with a vegan bun if desired.
One of my first jobs was working in a New York style deli where I sliced and served hundreds of corned beef, pastrami, turkey and more meat sandwiches. At that time, there were no vegan options available for lunch except for salad. Vegetarians had egg salad for sandwiches.
Fast forward 30 years and several delis later, I’ve seen the increased demand for vegetable based meat options. Presently I work at a women’s college where we have a about a 20 percent vegan and vegetarian combined student base.
There are several vegetable and grain based luncheon meat alternatives on the market. I’ve tried a few but hadn’t found one that I truly enjoyed.
When I was approached by Unreal Deli, I was eager to give their versions a try.
From their website:
Unreal Deli Meats are complete proteins which means a range of vitamins & nutrients in each serving, featuring their own unique vegetables and proteins
Unreal Deli is always:
Plant-Based
Kosher
Animal Free
Cholesterol Free
Nitrate Free
Low-Fat
Low-Carb
Protein Packed
I found that Unreal Deli Roasted Turk’y has the taste of deli turkey in a light textured slice. Paired with my spicy slaw, spinach and avocado, it made a delicious sandwich. Of course a toasted brioche bun held it all together.

Coffee Jelly Roll serves coffee flavor two ways. Homemade coffee jelly wrapped in a delicate java sponge cake. A coffee lover’s dream cake!

I love making all kinds of jelly rolls. It’s fun to mix up the cake flavors and fillings. Of course the holiday standby is pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling.
Coffee is such a versatile medium to use in baked goods. So when I received all these flavors from Door County Coffee, I had to give one a try in a coffee roll. Coffee jelly sounded like the best filling.
I never tried making coffee flavored jelly. It took a few tries to get the consistency right. I think this combo of coffee sponge and coffee jelly works so well together!
Jelly: Whisk together coffee and sugar in a 1-quart saucepan. Mix in gelatin. Bring to a boil and whisk constantly to dissolve gelatin. Pour mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for several hours to overnight to fully set.
When ready to prepare cake, grease and flour a jelly roll pan. Beat eggs on medium speed until thick and lemony colored. Gradually add the sugar.
Mix in coffee and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and salt.
Pour into prepared jelly-roll pan and bake at 375 for about 12 minutes. Cake should be done but not overly baked.
Roll cake up in towel. Cool completely. Unroll add jelly, roll back up chill. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy these tasty Wednesday #SpringSweetsWeek Recipes
