When I eat it, I enjoy it. When I go to the grocery store, I always buy it. I buy it when I have more than enough in my refrigerator to eat for breakfast or the occasional snack. If you live alone and like to cook, it’s probably not a foreign conundrum — throwing out a half-used, wilted bunch of basil before you can get around to making pesto or tossing two-thirds of a lasagne because you can’t stand the sight of it anymore. Though there are plenty of ways to consume everyone’s favorite protein-packed dairy product – in chilled cucumber avocado soup, shrimp salad with dill and cucumber, turkey meatballs with basil and cranberries – I still seem to wind up scrambling to use up my containers of Fage days before their expiration dates.

For those of you who didn’t see it, I wanted to share some of my tips here for anyone who wants to get their wine and cheese on this weekend. If you’re serving wine, you’ll want to offer more than a few slices of cheese to sustain your guests through a night of Chardonnay-sipping. Serve finger foods and hors d’oeuvres that are fast, easy to prepare and won’t overwhelm your wine pairings. Plan Ahead. When you’re planning on expanding your menu beyond wine and cheese, you’d probably rather spend your party sipping Sauvignon Blanc than sweating it out in the kitchen. To minimize stress, do the prep work ahead of time whenever possible. Decide if you’re going to plan your menu around the wines or the cheese.
