TIP OF THE DAY: Cheese Kabobs
Cheese kabobs are a festive way to serve different cheeses at parties, and are a fun family snack (and save the calories and carbs of bread and crackers). Buy blocks of different-color cheeses that can be cut into 1-inch cubes. Put 3 different cubes on a skewer or jumbo toothpick, alternating with a fruit (melon ball, grape or berry) or veggie (grape tomato, broccoli floret or zucchini cube). Create a variety of different skewers and arrange them in an inverted half watermelon or winter squash on a tray, or in a large round loaf of crusty bread. You can also arrange the skewers in a shallow vase or an ikebana (Japanese floral arrangement) dish.
