A cheese platter is perfect for any time of day, any time of year, any occasion. Calling it a "cheese platter" makes it sound fancy, but the reality is, cheese platters are so very simple to put together. My kids call our cheese platters a "Plate of Stuff."

Get Active and Have Fun with Your Family! Printable Summer Bucket List

And I try to avoid feeding them sugary sweets like ...

There are endless flavor possibilities for this one when you use your favorite fruit combinations. We naturally sweeten ours just a little bit with honey.
