Kid-friendly cheese board

I’m seeing all over social media where kids are heading back to school already. Say what? It seems like yesterday for me, buying school supplies and hustling to get schedules organized, thinking about food and healthy meals, car pools for sports, and piano and violin lessons.

Ingredients you need for this board:

  • 1 loaf bread
  • Favorite cheese
  • Butter
  • Ham slices
  • Pepperoni
  • Ranch dressing
  • Grapes and apple slices
  • Carrots and cucumbers
  • Cheese Sticks
  • Oreo or Jo Jo Cookies
  • Graham Crackers
  • Popcorn, with chocolate chips

In no time, arrange the delicious treats on a tray. Don’t forget the cured meats and cheeses and crackers. And always Ranch Dressing for dipping!

Then there’s gooey-ooey grilled cheese sandwiches, slathered in butter and grilled to perfection. Cut into triangle quarters.

Charcuterie Board

Okay, the cat is out of the bag. My kids are no longer little, and in fact, they are all in their 20’s now! And they love charcuterie boards!

Coughlin Family Hosmer Lake 2018

How fun is this recent picture of our family?

We spent an evening on Hosmer Lake a few weeks ago, and my daughter brought her camera. We had the most glorious evening, sunset, and picnic with our puppy, Alder.

Don’t worry, Haggis was home holding down the fort. He doesn’t love adventures like this anymore. Remember he’s 14 now! But still pretty feisty and cute.

Big kids or little kids, we still love grilled cheese.

We had fun munching on this board, but I really wanted to give you inspiration for a party, maybe before your kids go back to school, or a Friday night dinner for the family, or an autumn birthday party or even a soccer party!

Fun? Yes!

How to make an epic charcuterie board

You take your giant board. (If not food-friendly, layer with parchment paper:) You can also season your board with mineral oil and beeswax, if it’s not food-safe. [More info below.]
