Back-to-Routine Snacking with French Flair
As August settles in, a sense of routine returns. The carefree days of summer start to wind down, school supplies begin to reappear, and schedules start to fill up. While the shift back into structure can feel a bit overwhelming, it’s also an opportunity to find joy in the everyday—and that includes snack time. At La Bonne Vie, we believe every bite should feel like a moment to savor. Even in the middle of a busy day, our French-style cheeses bring elegance and ease to your table—or lunchbox. Whether you’re looking for kid-friendly snacks, workday pick-me-ups, or simple bites for after-school, our cheeses make snack time something to look forward to.
Snacking doesn’t have to be boring, and it certainly doesn’t have to be complicated. With just a few ingredients, you can create something that feels thoughtful, flavorful, and satisfying. Here are a few of our favorite pairings to enjoy at home or on the go:
Cherry Goat Cheese + Graham Crackers
This sweet and tangy duo is a favorite for both kids and adults. The fruit-forward flavor of our cherry goat cheese pairs beautifully with the crunch of a graham cracker—it’s like a bite-sized dessert with a creamy, satisfying twist.
Camembert + Apple Slices
A classic combination that balances the creamy richness of Camembert with the crisp, refreshing snap of an apple. It’s an ideal after-school snack or a light workday treat.
Triple Crème Brie + Round Crackers + Honey
The ultimate afternoon luxury. Keep a wedge of Brie in the fridge, pair it with your favorite crackers, and add a drizzle of honey for a snack that feels elegant but takes just seconds to assemble.
Goat Cheese + Toasted Bread + Sliced Cucumbers
Cool, light, and packed with flavor. The tang of the goat cheese and the crunch of the cucumber are refreshing and satisfying, especially on warm August afternoons.
Our cheeses are as versatile as they are delicious. Pre-slice wedges of Brie or Camembert and pack them with fruit and crackers for easy lunchbox additions. Tuck a small piece of our Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese into a container with a few sweet pairings for a sweet midday surprise. Or set out a simple plate after dinner with a few favorite combinations for a light, no-fuss dessert.
La Bonne Vie cheeses also make excellent additions to snack boards or plates, especially when the days are long and cooking feels like too much. Set out a board with a few cheeses, fruit, nuts, and crackers and let everyone help themselves—it’s an easy, elegant solution to weeknight snacking or casual weekend hosting.

August can be a whirlwind, but there’s something grounding about pausing for a good snack. Whether you're sitting at your desk, waiting at school pickup, or packing lunches before the day begins, taking a moment to enjoy real, satisfying food makes a difference. With La Bonne Vie, snack time becomes more than a quick bite—it becomes a chance to treat yourself to something delicious, even on the busiest days.
