Summer Party Chips + Dip Board

Y’all know I love an impressive giant board for entertaining as well as some easy, zero-prep party food- and this chips + dip board doubles as both! This is such a perfect summertime snack or appetizer for by the pool, at your next cookout, or any summer get-together! The best part is that there’s ZERO cooking involved (unless you count chopping a few things and opening some cans!) yet this is a spread that is sure to impress all your guest AND be super delicious as well. I love that guests can mix, match, and customize their own selections and taste ingredients as they please. You can find the full ingredients list and instructions for putting this one together below as well as the link to shop the exact tray I used for this board too!

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.

Sweet + Salty Halloween Snack Board

Today I’m sharing my second Halloween themed board of the season and this one is my favorite because it’s so unconventional and just fun! I couldn’t really call it a cheeseboard because there’s no cheese involved, except cheddar popcorn, so I’m calling this a snack board! The formula for creating this is easy- just gather up all you favorite candy and sweet and salty snacks for Halloween and throw them together on one giant board!

Fun + Festive Halloween Cheeseboard

Halloween is just a week away and every year I love to make as many fun recipes as possible leading up to the holiday! So over the next week, I’m bringing you not one, but two, different takes on festive Halloween snack boards! This board is more along the lines of a traditional cheeseboard with the ingredients although I did make a few unexpected sweet additions! I tried to keep the overall color palette Halloween themed with plenty of pops of orange and lots of dark purple, chocolate, and bits of white. The end product is super bright + playful (not to mention tasty) and so perfect for celebrating Halloween!
