I️’m hoping to get into a better routine of blogging more frequently, but in the meantime, I️ wanted to pop on and share some of my favorite Valentine Charcuterie Board Ideas…and okay, dessert boards, too! I️ love sharing my ideas with you guys to inspire you to create fun boards for your own family. Holiday and themed charcuterie/dessert boards are so fun, and choosing ingredients that match the color scheme make it so easy to run with the theme! Here are some of my favorite Valentine’s Day charcuterie board ingredients: I️ hope you’ve been inspired by these ideas!
I️’ve been making Christmas charcuterie boards for my family during the holidays for several years now, but this year has taken a unique turn, as I️ now have my own charcuterie business! I️ love a good charcuterie and cheeseboard any time of year, but there’s something extra fun about making a festive board for Christmas. After the main items have been added, I️ like to go back in and fill in empty spaces and keep the meats and cheeses from touching each other with fresh fruit. Here are some of my favorite Christmas charcuterie board ideas, by color: Of course, the sky really is the limit when it comes to creating a Christmas charcuterie board!
I️ don’t know about you, but stocking stuffers are quite possibly my favorite part of opening gifts on Christmas morning! Since us adults don’t enjoy (or need) candy as much, I️ like to find stocking stuffers that are useful, fun and the perfect size. I️ actually don’t mind opening a bottle of bubbly, because I️ know I️ can use a stopper to keep it fresh for a few days!
