I love this! I picked up this tray from Pier 1 and have been using it as a decorative piece on my coffee table and recently, I looked at it with a new vision. I started by covering the inside with cute pumpkin cloth napkins to protect the wood detail. Moving on, I filled two bowls with The Better Chip brand chips from Gordon Food Services(GFS), I have spinach and kale in the red bowl and Jalapeño (Yes, real Jalapeño and they DO kick) in the green bowl, both are whole grain and vegan. Two types of hummus in the white bowls in the center, roasted red pepper family style from GFS and garlic family style from Costco. A bowl of guacamole, store-bought from Costco..all three of the containers fit into my one bowl, and a plate of veggie sushi from my local Kroger. On the other side a bowl of mixed nuts, a bowl of honey nut clusters (not vegan by all standards), a bowl of olives, and a bowl of dark chocolate covered pretzels. I filled in with lots of fresh veggies, mushrooms, cauliflower, green cauliflower, orange, yellow and red peppers, and carrots. The left over holes on one side got filled in with grape tomatoes and the other side was filled in with grapes. I almost forgot all the Mary’s Gone crackers! We go through box after box of these over the holidays. Costco has them in a 20 ounce box with 2 bags of the original flavor, certified vegan. Such a party hit and so much food. A perfect tray to put out for the holidays! I served this at home, the tray might be a little hard to take somewhere once you have it filled. Let this serve as an example of what you can bring when you’re invited to a get together with friends this holiday season.
