Expert Tips

Cold-pack cheese food comes in a small plastic container. Look for it in the dairy case near the other cheese products.

This easy yet impressive, do-ahead appetizer is perfect to take with you when you're supposed to bring something for nibbling. When you reach your destination, arrange the chilled cheese wheel on a platter with crackers surrounding it.
