DIY Salad Bar Board for a Crowd | Easy Entertaining Meal

I recently made this salad board for one of our Christmas parties and I’m kind of kicking myself that I hadn’t thought of this sooner! It really is such an easy way to entertain for a crowd and feed a lot of people without a lot of prep! It also works especially well if you have guests with certain food allergies, sensitivities, or preferences because everyone can make their own salad with the ingredients they want. This can also be customized a million different ways with all kinds of different ingredients! Mine leans more towards an Italian salad with the ingredients but there are so many different possibilities for this!

Summer Dessert Board

If you’ve been following a while you know I love to cook, but hate baking (way too much math and science involved and I hate measuring). So when I need to bring a dessert somewhere and still impress, here’s my solution: the dessert board! This one’s even themed for Memorial Day festivities, but there’s a million different ways you could customize it! And the best part, no baking required! I seriously bought everything at Kroger and just cut a few things up! Arrange and you’re done! Yes, even the little flowers are edible too! I can’t think of a better way to eat dessert either, getting to mix and match and try bites of all the delicious things.
