I used to think charcuterie boards were too pretty and complicated for real life! OMG, was I wrong! They’re actually super easy and perfect to feed you and your family (even those picky eaters, trust me I have 3 in my house). They make a bunch of random things come together for an easy healthy brunch or when you’re cramped for time trying to figure out what to cook for a weeknight meal!
I’m sharing my 2 favorite easy peasy healthy charcuterie board ideas with you that are packed with foods that are anti-inflammatory and help you achieve glowing skin. Because we all know that your skin thrives when you’re feeding it well.
Seriously, it’s super easy, pull out a big tray or use a sheet pan for easy clean up or if you have a butcher block use that, options are endless. Chop up some antioxidant and vitamin A and C rich fruits and veggies, Vitamin D and omega 3 and 6 protein-rich eggs and meats, nuts, Vitamin E packed healthy fats and spreads (think avocados, hummus and olives), and whole grains and you have yourself a board. Viola!
One of my favorites is a brunch board! Because you can pour a cup of coffee, mimosa, or sip on a berry prosecco (recipe below) while you’re throwing it together AND munch on it ALL morning and afternoon long! Put it together 1 and eat twice, my kinda cooking. Maybe it’s not completely anti-inflammatory with the wine but everything in moderation right?
