A Girlie Board: Pretty Charcuterie Board with Food & Flowers

One of my close girlfriends just had her third baby boy a few days ago! Before she gave birth, I made sure to take note of some of her favorite things: red wine, tiramisu, and charcuterie. As soon as I heard she was heading home from the hospital, I prepared a big charcuterie board for her and her family to enjoy.

After putting this board together, I couldn’t help but think, Wow, this would make the perfect Valentine’s Day board! I had my new favorite flowers, strawflowers, which are also on my summer garden planning list. They feel like paper!
I love charcuterie boards, and putting them together is the most fun part!

I enjoy mixing sweet items with savory ones, pairing cheeses with fruits, and adding all the fun little finger snacks in between.

Here’s everything I included on this cheese board:

Cheese:

Pepper Jack
Habanero Cheddar Jack
Parmesan
Orange Hot Honey Goat Cheese

Meats:

Soppressata
Prosciutto
Salami

Crackers:

Wheat Crackers
Hot Chili Wafers

Fruits:

Grapes
Strawberries

Sweets:

Tiramisu
Caramel Wafers
Dark Chocolate Almonds
Figs
Mixed Nuts
Candied Pecans

I think it’s so Valentine’s Day-ish with the pink flowers, chocolate sweets, and a side of strawberries. It also makes a wonderfully festive spring board! In the south, Valentines Day is the LAST celebration before the spring temps start to come out.
Have you ever seen those DIY girls’ nights where everyone brings ingredients to create a charcuterie board together? How fun would that be!

I love pairing sparkling mocktails with charcuterie boards—they’re the perfect combo. Anything with sparkling water, freshly squeeze citrus, ginger, and berries!

Here are some of my favorite charcuterie boards I’ve made:
