I love snack plates! 🫒

and you should too

you’re getting my Sunday newsletter on a Monday again, because I was traveling back from Austin yesterday AND my best friend arrived here in LA for a visit so it’s a little late. but it’s okay because today we’re talking about one of my favourite things: snack plates!!!

snack plates seem to be having quite the rebrand right now and I, for one, am on board (and have always been a huge fan). the idea of eating a meal of dips, pickled veggies, cheese and crunchy snacks has been popular in its various forms (hello charcuterie boards), but the snack plate du jour has exploded recently — first with the whole “girl dinner” era last year and more recently, the viral savoury girl snack plate.

regardless of what you want to call it, I love the idea of taking a variety of little bites and crafting them into something that meets the quota for a meal, especially on days when I’m feeling supremely lazy at lunchtime. with the endless options for vegetables, carbs and protein (tinned fish! parm! cured meats!), it’s a low effort way to create a satiating little lunch or dinner.

here are a few of my favourite combinations!
