Today I am introducing my Patriotic Food Board Ideas! I am so excited to share this with y’all today as you know that creating boards is a huge passion of mine. This food board is absolutely perfect for 4th of July coming up! Whether you’re planning to chill at the lake, pool, beach house, or spend time with friends and loved ones, this is the most fun and festive board for you! Keep reading to see how I put it together below:
If you all know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE creating Charcuterie boards! No matter the season, occasion, rhyme, or reason, you an always catch me in the kitchen with some meat, cheese, and crackers! You really can’t go wrong with a traditional charcuterie board, but I have had so much fun putting together seasonal boards without your typical ingredients as well! Some of the fun ones I’ve put together so far were for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter. What I’ve found through creating these less-traditional boards is that, why should adults get to have all the fun?! If anything I’ve found that the kids snack on them throughout the day almost more than the adults.
My two girls enjoy the Charcuterie boards just as much as my husband and I do. They especially took interest in helping me put together my seasonal boards. Not only do these treat and sweet boards usually turn out delicious, but it’s also a great opportunity to get creative! Today I’m sharing my Patriotic Food Board Ideas with you. You can use these Patriotic Food Board Ideas for everything from 4th of July, Labor Day, MLK Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Constitution Day, Election Day, Veterans Day, Bill of Rights Day, and more. Honestly, it doesn’t even need to be a holiday to use this board inspiration. If you’re planning to attend a lake weekend with friends, have loved ones over, or throw a pool party for the kids, I highly recommend using a fun treat board such as this! I had so much fun creating this and I will absolutely be replicating it this coming Labor Day and for the upcoming holiday’s that we celebrate this beautiful country! I can’t wait to hear what you all think. You know what they say here in the South… GO ‘MERICA!
