I started cooking at a young age. Later, as a wife and mom to three little ones, my skills expanded. So did my ability to stretch meals. Leftovers were golden, and I got savvy about using up everything in the fridge. I also realized the value of family meals. Our family was busy, just like yours. Mealtime gave us a chance to connect. Gathering at the table brings families together and keeps them close.
The same principles apply to friends, the ones who are so dear that they feel like family. Like my mom, feeding both family and friends is one of the ways I show love. I would never have imagined her legacy would lead me to start my blog, Reluctant Entertainer, dedicated to making hospitality a household word and encouraging people to feast on life. And I certainly never imagined how incorporating boards into my culinary repertoire would help so many people discover a fun, easy, appealing way to entertain friends, and feed families.
Steel-cut oats are an inexpensive, filling, and a delicious wonder that can be savory or sweet. You can add in seasonal fruits and spice it up with a teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Or you can add bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, and some red pepper flakes for a savory twist. If you have the time, toast your oats to add a warm, nutty flavor to your dish! Here’s a pro tip: Cook your oats in a cast-iron pot to help keep them warm for a longer period of time.
This epic trail mix board is inspired by my life in the Pacific Northwest. I have so many fond memories of hiking with my family. The kids always looked forward to taking a break to have a snack and trail mix was always our go-to. Kick-off your hike or outdoor activity by gathering around the board so everyone can make their own trail mix.
I love to get a pot of tortilla chicken soup simmering on the stove and invite a few friends over for lunch. Many of the soup ingredients are already stocked in the pantry, and it’s easy to keep chicken in the freezer. It all comes together on the board with the soup, your favorite toppings, and good dipping chips. Beautiful and festive, it’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner! To save time, make the soup the night before. It’s easy to reheat and delicious.
To solve the problem of a flimsy, soggy Sloppy Joe, I sought out a binding ingredient, and the solution was clear: add copious amounts of cheese. For this Sloppy Joe board, make the meat the night before so on the day of feasting you can quickly assemble the sliders, pop them in the oven, and set up your board. Another quick tip is to buy your favorite coleslaw and layer it on your sandwich to add a cool crunchy bite to your meaty, cheesy, slider. Don’t forget the pickles!
Don’t be fooled by the size of these Brie bites—their flavor is mighty. They’re easy to prepare and keep in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Prepare the board ingredients beforehand to ensure that you can serve the bites fresh out of the oven. Additionally, make sure the cheese is cold and firm before baking, which will prevent it from leaking out of the puff pastry. Enjoy your bites with a smear of sweet jam, a slice of savory cured meat, or served on a dessert board dipped into chocolate.
I love the magic of soup season—the comfort and ease of gathering around the table with family and friends. And clam chowder always brings a little magic to the table! My Best Clam Chowder video went viral on Facebook a few years back because of one controversial ingredient: bacon! Who knew that America’s favorite breakfast meat could cause such a debate? Controversy aside, I am still a strong advocate for the addition of bacon, and I think you will be too!
This board was made with leftovers in mind. Often, I find I have random tubs of leftovers, like roasted veggies, soft-boiled eggs, meats, and grains. While you can use all fresh ingredients for this board, I encourage you to forage your refrigerator and make use of those leftovers. Substitute any veggies with ones that are in season and use chickpeas or tofu for vegetarian options.
For this board, I wanted to take the classic ice cream sundae to the next level by adding one of my favorite desserts: donuts. They’re not often eaten with ice cream, but after you try this board, you’ll be wondering why you haven’t eaten a donut sundae sooner. To prepare ahead of time, scoop and freeze the ice cream and donuts together on a parchment-lined baking sheet—the donuts will take on a firmer texture, but still taste just as delicious.
