Summer entertaining at it’s best!
The Global Glow Team is proud to introduce the launch of the #GGExpertSeries where #jkmeetspk AKA @cookeatlivehappy. Throughout the coming months, JK will be meeting up with experts across the country, discussing everything from fitness, wellness, beauty, gut health & food!
All A Board!
Whether you have a flare for the creative, or take a more technical approach to your summer entertaining, try assembling a number of butcher blocks together and wow your guests with a chorus of deliciousness that offer up something for everyone.
Have fun with colour, theme, and sizing when choosing how to place your favourite appetizers on the boards. From crudités, to dips, to seafood, to cheeses and charcuterie, build your x-factor, butcher block by butcher block.
Here are some staple ingredients used in ours but use fresh, seasonal ingredients for an optimal result!
Ingredients
- Carrots
- Cucumbers
- Peppers
- Cherry tomatoes
- Radishes
- Sweet peas
- Celery
Ingredients
- Fresh cheese
- Prosciutto
- Melon
- Strawberries
- Nuts
- Dips
- Fresh herbs
JK’s Tip:
- You can try setting up 2 or three smaller boards to create a statement piece when they are displayed together.
Setting each one up individually is much easier and will allow you the flexibility of being able to create smaller boards as the evening progresses and it starts to thin out.
Simply reorganize the remaining ingredients on fewer boards as needed!
- Feel free to leave whole vegetables on your platter amidst the dips and cut crudités, giving your platter a luxurious and wholesome feel.
It is such a privilege to collaborate with @cookeatlivehappy, an amazing food coach, recipe developer, blogger, entrepreneur and mom, from Montreal. Her mission is to bring back FUN in the kitchen by sharing food knowledge and empowering kitchen confidence. JK and PK’s meet up earlier this month was focused around one goal: creating delicious, healthy recipes and having fun while doing it.
Stay tuned for more seasonal recipes all summer long…
Bon appétit!
