Charcuterie boards aren’t just meat and cheese. You can make a fun board from just about anything and ALDI is dropping the top trends for your inspiration in 2022. We’re drooling over the fry platter!

Take your game watch party to the next level with one of the top predicted hits, the French fry board. It’s packed with shoestring, waffle, tater tots and veggie fries so everyone’s favorite will make an appearance. Add in ketchup, ranch, guacamole and melted cheese so the dipping never stops.

Kid-friendly boards are also sure to be hot in 2022. Liven up snack time and make shapes from fruit, veggies, crackers, cheese and deli meat. “Charcuturkey” boards are a great example, but you can let your imagination run wild!

Finally, you can make your boards a bit healthier by following another top trend for the new year. Vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free platters will star, along with salad boards! You can try your own by lining lettuce wedges with rows of ingredients to put a fun twist on a Cobb salad. But no judgment if you’re more inclined to make a birthday charcuterie board.

Country roads…take me home…to the pumpkin spice latteeee. West Virginia is the king of pumpkin spice consumption, according to new data from Instacart. Fittingly launched right as Starbucks returns the ultra-popular PSL, the survey revealed the hottest seasonal flavor trends and the states most (and least) likely to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon.

Unsurprisingly, Hawaii is the least likely state to purchase pumpkin spice products on Instacart, probably due to the absence of a real seasonal fall. Meanwhile, West Virginia is 122% more likely to buy, followed by Iowa (90%), North Carolina (62%) and Ohio (60%). Other pumpkin averse states? Washington D.C., Louisiana and Massachusetts.

The top pumpkin spice products on Instacart? They’re all breakfast related! Coffee creamer came out on top, followed by the actual spice, ground coffee, cream cheese and bread. The company found that quick oats, protein bars, pumpkin and waffle mix and cereal are also hot pumpkin-themed products compared to 2019.

Instacart also noted that searches for pumpkin spice products started early this year, in late July. Retailers haven’t been hesitant to hype up their offerings either, from cup noodles to cookie dough to blizzards. Love it or hate it, the craze is on!
