Serve a Christmas cheese board on The Big Board
Maybe you bought a Big Board before the holidays, or you have one that you asked Santa to bring. [That’s me holding it, and my cutie Whoodle pup in the left, just waiting for a bite to drop!] Also, love the red glasses? Me, too.
Either way, you will be so happy with the food safe Big Board, with the edge around the outside. One of the reasons I love these boards is the quality, and the design that keeps the food on the board.
Especially with little kids, there is nothing worse than setting out a bunch of gorgeous charcuterie boards, and within 10 minutes, the entertaining space is a royal mess. Not with our Big Boards!
