On the List

What are we up to this weekend you ask? Well, we’re working on picking up some delicious produce, meat & cheeses for the Ultimate Summer Charcuterie board post that’s coming to the blog next week. The last charcuterie board I shared was one my sister created last October, but this particular collection of deliciousness will feature items from the brand new Whole Foods that opened up in Uptown CLT. Plus, we have plans to check out the new Uptown Reid’s and perhaps swing by Jenni’s Splendid Ice Creams that just opened up in Southend. It’s gonna be delish, and I’ll be sharing about all the places we visit both on my Insta-Stories and here on the blog, so make sure you’re following for all the latest!
