Hello, sweet friends!

 

Hope you are all doing well 🙂 It has been a hot minute since I posted last. To be honest, I was not planning to take such a long break from posting, but we had some unexpected things come up. By the time this is published, I will be more that 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby, and it has been an adventure so far. The first trimester has been filled with all kinds of excitement and changes. I have been very tired and somewhat nauseated at times, but overall, it’s been pretty smooth.

That said, I am really hoping to get back into the swing of things with posting and such. I am really hoping get some fun holiday season content out in advance of those holidays. With that in mind, I will be putting out some fun Thanksgiving content and then hopefully some Christmas posts, as well.

This post is for thanksgiving charcuterie board ideas. So, to start out, charcuterie boards make the perfect appetizer to a big meal. They are usually just a combination of a variety of flavors including savory meats, slices of cheese, fresh fruits, different sauces, something sweet, and maybe some fresh herbs, if you’d like. Those these snack boards are not necessarily the main course, but its a great way to incorporate foods that likely require zero cooking in a super convenient way.

I have been doing a bunch of scoping to find some of the cutest and best charcuterie board ideas to add to your thanksgiving dinner plans. Many of these boards have a variety of meats and both soft cheeses and hard cheeses. That said, I have included a few dessert board ideas, as well. I will say, when it come to the best charcuterie boards, I do not think there is a right or wrong way to do them, necessarily. You can make really simple things look so pretty on a wood board. That said, there are some fun ideas we can do to really take our fall charcuterie board up a notch.

Without further adieu, here is a collection of beautiful charcuterie board ideas 🙂

 

Traditional Charcuterie Boards

 

 

I love how creative this charcuterie board is especially with the homemade cornucopia! From what I can tell, you really do not need any special equipment to make it either which is always a plus. I feel like you could use this cornucopia in a traditional charcuterie board or even in a more specific kind of fall board like a dessert board or fresh fruits board.

 

 

This board is probably more what I would think of when I hear “kid-friendly” charcuterie board. I love the little turkey face and the word thankful. This fun snack board is perfect for turkey day!

 

 

This Thanksgiving board has so much food that looks delicious! I may not think that kids would love this board as much, but there are still foods on it that they would probably like. Whether they want a sweet treat or some fall fruit, this particular board has several options. Additionally, if you are looking for some more “fancy” and unique items, I would definitely try looking at Trader Joe.

 

 

It’s worth noting that mini pumpkins will always make a charcuterie board feel more fall-inspired 😉

 

 

I thought the candy corn and figs were unique touches on this beautiful board 🙂

 

 

I’m always up for color coordinated food collections. I love that this board has several different kinds of items, as well. Though I would still consider this charcuterie platter “traditional” since it has hard cheese and soft cheese along with fruit, nuts, and sauces, there are also some unique items which makes it fun.

 

 

I really liked several things about this board. The leaf shaped tortilla chips are so cute. I loved they way they “decorated” the cheese in the middle with the jelly and seeds. The apple slices are a nice fall touch. Additionally, I saw those maple leaf cookies on several boards. Lastly, I thought the pistachios along with the straw sprigs were really creative.

 

 

Here’s another take on the cornucopia 🙂

 

 

Here’s another board that might look more “kid-friendly” to some families 🙂 I love the small bowls of little treats like the M&Ms and pomegranate seeds. The little “pumpkin” oranges are also so cute!

 

 

This snack board is more for adults, but you could definitely follow the same color scheme and simply add in some more kid-friendly food items.

 

 

How cute is that turkey in the middle?

 

 

I liked how they put all the bowls in the same part of the charcuterie board. The cheese knives are so pretty, and the caramels and the apples are such a fun fall touch, here.

 

 

 

All the more neutral colors are so aesthetically pleasing!

 

Dessert Charcuterie Boards

 

I probably won’t be putting as many individual notes on all these dessert boards, but I really love this collection. I am normally more drawn to the sweet rather than salty things, and these boards look so amazing! Whether you decide to make your Thanksgiving dessert board more savory or sweet, I hope that these pictures and posts will be an inspiration for you 🙂

 

 

What a great charcuterie board to start out this dessert charcuterie portion of this compilation post! I really love the amount of variety on this board. There are sweet and salty things on this board which is so great. On top of that, the color palette is on point. Additionally, I think these kind of boards demonstrate the easiest way to put together a charcuterie board since almost all of it can be store bought if you prefer 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leftover Food Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board Ideas.

 

I don’t think I ever even considered doing this! I love how creative this idea is. Simply put your Thanksgiving meal leftovers on a pretty platter, arrange it all, add in a few new things to help combine the foods, and you are good to go! I love this idea so much.
