Friends, are you planning a Mother’s Day get-together this year? Here are all my ideas for The Big Board (charcuterie and dinner boards).

Meat & Cheese Board Recipe
It’s never too pretty to eat. For this board we used: DeLallo Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives, Colossal Calamata Olives, Pitted Olives Jubilee, Pitted Olives Gigante, and Aglio Green Pitted Olives! If you want to learn more about DeLallo and their products, visit, here.
My heritage includes a long line of lovely holiday hostesses–my grandmas, many aunts, and my mom were all quintessential hostesses! All beautiful, talented ladies in my life, and I’ve picked up a few hostessing tips from them along the way.
The size of the party, and how many guests are coming, determine how big you want to make your board. Whether big or small, adding meats, cheeses, olives, crackers, fruits, and veggies are always a hit. If you want some more tips on how to put a board together, I’ve shared 7 tips how to get the job done!
A tip: I bought pre-sliced varieties of cheeses and meats, which made assemblying and preparing rather easy, and have always added crackers right before serving (you want your crackers to be fresh and crisp!)
Keep it simple: Set it out–it doesn’t have to stay hot (which is nice) to be scrumptious. Then last-minute, add a few pansy flowers for an elegant touch!
Remember, what really makes an Olive, Meat and Cheese Entertaining Board special is the touch that you’ve made it!
I like to think about that when I’m cooking, or when I attend a party.
The love and time that a hostess puts into preparing the food and the ambience are nothing to take lightly! And Mother’s Day is definitely the day to get a little fancy!
