Who else loves the Fourth of July?? 🙌🏼 This

Who else loves the Fourth of July?? 🙌🏼 This is my favorite week of the year!! 🎆 Nothing beats a long weekend of pool parties and fireworks with family and friends!

❤️🤍💙

Here are some tips to make good ole classic American Flag cheese board of your own:

Start by making a square in the left corner using a mixture of blueberries and blackberries. Take a cookie cutter and cut out small stars using provolone (or any white) cheese.

Row 1: sliced strawberries
Row 2: yogurt pretzels
Row 3: red beet crackers from TJs
Row 4: Manchego cheese
Row 5: folded salami or pepperoni
Row 6: white cheddar cheese cubes
Row 7: fresh cherries

If you have a bigger platter, add more rows — odd numbers always work best.

Don’t forget to tag me in your boards so I can see your 4th of July creations!! 🇺🇸

Looking for tips to elevate dip presentation on yo

Looking for tips to elevate dip presentation on your boards? I’ve got you covered with 4 tips that will help level up your boards!!

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟏: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬!
If you’re trying to make an aesthetically pleasing board, then 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵, serve your dips in the plastic store bought containers.

For starters, It’s unclear who/what has touched those containers before it ends up in your fridge at home. I like to utilize every square inch of my boards therefore I don’t want my clean food touching nasty packaging germs.

Secondly, it looks a helluva lot better.

Lastly, it helps eliminates food waste. Only put out what you think you will use... you can always replenish!

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟐: 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐝𝐝 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬!
When serving dips on boards, I like to work with odd numbers. Take this pic for example. I used 3 different dips to give people dipping options with their veggies!

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟑: 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬!
Use different sized/shaped ramekins to add different textures. I used 3 completely different ramekins on this board, but you could use 3 of the same. Keep proportion in mind... you don’t want to take up half of the board with just ramekins.

Place the ramekins on the board first and build around them. Don’t group more than 3 together or it may look cluttered.

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝟒: 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐩𝐬!
Just like any board, the last step is to garnish, but garnishing doesn’t stop with the board. Elevate the overall appearance of your board by garnishing your dips. I picked one ingredient that is in each of these dips to help garnish and identify the dips...

-Regular hummus garnish with olive oil, dash of paprika, roasted chick peas, and parsley.

-Everything bagel Greek yogurt dip garnished with everything bagel seasoning!

-Spicy feta dip garnished with extra feta cheese!

Don’t forget to take me in your leveled up veggie boards!! 🙌🏼

I’m a lil bit salty that I didn’t know it was National Pretzel Day today, but thankfully @dreamboardsco is always reminding me of these fun holidays! 🥨

Any excuse for a fun snack board, am I right?? What’s your favorite type of pretzel? I’m a sucker for a soft pretzel. I get one from Sam’s club almost every time I go to shop! 🤫🙃

Here are some fun suggestions to put on pretzel boards:
+hard and soft pretzels
+jalapeño corn bread bites
+sautéed sausage
+cheese cubes and slices
+cheese sauce
+honey mustard
+stone ground mustard
+yellow mustard
+cornichons
+almonds
+homemade pub cheese (recipe on my blog)
+fresh veggies

I can’t think of a better way to round out #Eart

I can’t think of a better way to round out #EarthDay than with these @jello dirt cups. Did y’all know that @krogerco sells these @jello dirt kits? I like to add an extra layer of granola in the middle for some extra crunch.

And yes, I used plastic cups because my glass cups didn’t show the layers. #earthday 🫣

I hope y’all get to take some extra time to enjoy the outdoors this weekend! 🤍🌎😎

Do you have a deviled egg or ceramic egg holder laying around your home? Or what about a baking sheet?

Try making your own Easter CharTREATerie board using items you already have in your kitchen. I rounded up some of my favorite Easter candy and made 2 different boards.

Happy First Day of Spring! 🌷☀️

Starting spring with these 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔. 🍓

Flaky, buttery, and bursting of flavor from fresh strawberries, finished with a sweet icing! I love this recipe because they can be made a day ahead and leftovers can be frozen! Do you prefer sweet or savory scones?

Lucky for us Shamrock Ravioli is at @costco. ☘️💚Lucky for me, I still had some frozen Homemade Basil Pesto in the freezer! 🙌🏼

Store-bought pesto is fine, but in my opinion, there is nothing like fresh homemade pesto. I look forward to growing basil and making pesto each summer. It’s so easy! Do you grow your own herbs? 🌱

Here’s what you need to dress up your store-bought ravioli:
@costco shamrock ravioli
-Homemade Basil Pesto
-Toasted pine nuts
-grated Parmesan cheese
-fresh parley or basil for garnish

Save this recipe for summer so you can make your own pesto or search “𝙷𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎 𝙱𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚕 𝙿𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚘” on my blog!
