This time of year there’s no doubt foods and beverages are a little more indulgent and our dietitians like to also do the same. They both love chocolate and charcuterie, and balance it out with quite a few vegetables but let’s get to know what’s on their lists this year!

Registered Dietitian Taylor’s Favorite Indulgences

• Macarons are so colorful and light and are a great two-bite treat. I eat them right out of the package or nestle them into a charcuterie board for extra pizazz.
• Apple Cider might seem like a fall choice but a warm cup at night as is, with chamomile tea, or bourbon is an excellent way to warm up a winter night.
• Triple Cream Brie with a sparkling wine had been a go-to for appetizers and on charcuterie boards.
• Etoile Sparkling Wine has the perfect amount of bubbles to celebrate holidays, birthdays or a Friday night win on the court.
• Alter Eco Brown Butter Chocolate is mouth watering delicious as it sounds. Perfect on a charcuterie board or with a glass of wine.
• H&H Bagels are finally hitting our stores and these bagels are a divine way to kick off the weekend for sustainable energy for a packed day of activities.

Registered Dietitian Brenda’s Favorite Indulgences

• The Parmesan Pepper Bread on a sandwich or on a charcuterie board it’s simply a crowd pleaser.
• Cranberry relish – the sweet and spicy is just right!
• Cheddar Gruyere paired with Angelic Bakehouse Harissa Green Chile Snack Crisps 
• Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon.  Enough said. 
• It might not be your typical “indulgence” but, Barney’s Chocolate Almond Butter is wonderful as a drizzle or a bit 
• Brazi Bites. Cheese and carbs, what could be better?
