Boards are my jam. We make different versions of them all the time! Thinks salad bar board for a Wednesday night dinner to a Mediterranean board for outdoor dining to traditional charcuterie boards for that perfect girl’s night in. We make them for parties, small get togethers, game day (college football of course) and just a regular weeknight dinner.
Why do I love them so much? We are a party of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids. Making a meal that everyone likes can sometime be challenging but, putting it all out on a board in a DIY fashion makes it easier. One of our go to boards is Mexican. I love, and I mean love tacos. My husband and 2 of my kids really like to make burrito bowls and my other little one would eat nachos every day. That’s when it hit me, they’re all the same ingredients just different end results so why not just make a board and let everyone make what they want! Winner, winner chicken dinner. Everyone loved it, got exactly what they wanted and really enjoyed making it themselves. From that point forward, we became a board family!
Do not box yourself in – charcuterie boards are not just for meats and cheeses! Boards are a perfect way to entertain, have fun and provide your guests with something to talk about! You can use a theme or just throw whatever you have on it and enjoy it as a snack and appetizer! You can also use any kind of “board” you have. A cutting board, cheese board, really any serving type tray works. I love the boards from Custom Works by MRC, but then again I am biased (my husband makes them!)
Follow along and see what fun and unique boards we come up with!
