Hello sweet friends. We have been staying close to home and fully celebrating this glorious holiday season. If you are staying in this New Year’s Eve you may enjoy A Pink and Burgundy Inspired Charcuterie Board.
A Pink and Burgundy Inspired Charcuterie Board
This board was the creation of the Fashionista who wanted to continue the theme of our vintage Pink Christmas Kitchen.
So I set off on a mission to search out pink toned foods for the board.
I seriously wondered, “Would I find any?”
It was a delicious surprise.
For instance, it was amazingly easy to find cranberry cheese, Windsor pink cheddar, sour cherry compote, and much more. However, we also included low-cost items such as creamy Boursin Gournay Cheese.
All the ingredients came from Trader Joe’s, Central Market and Kroeger. The last two are local grocery store chains.
After that, all of the offerings were transferred into vintage serving pieces, cups and dishes in various pastel pink and burgundy tones.
Pink Crudités
Even the crudités were rosy.
They included radishes, grapes, carrots, pomegranates, and pink lady apples.
Everything was layered on organic greenery. It should be noted that the greenery should not be eaten.
A delicious bird’s eye view.
Happy Realism
The Fashionista and I stood on chairs to arrange the perfect platters because it is often necessary to get just the right shots.
But the effort was worth it. Everything was delightfully enjoyed and happily consumed.
We recommend serving rosé wine and cranberry sparkling cider as a delicious accompaniment.
Storybook Cottage is currently enjoying a dear visitor. Sweet Guy will return to school on January 8th. I will be back on the 10th with some crafty fun.
Happy New Year to one and all!

This is gorgeous. What a fun idea to color coordinate your food. Happy New Year
Looks gorgeous, Laura, and what a fun idea to color coordinate it! And sounds YUM!
Laura, I just discovered Cranberry Spice Boursin and will be serving it tomorrow along with the Garlic and Shallot varieties! Happy New Year to all of you.
I too just discovered the cranberry spice boursin but when I went back for more (for just myself), there was none – only the other flavors available. Waiting for a new supply to come in soon.
Such a lovely creative board of goodies. Enjoy your special guest. Happy New Year!
Looks so good as well as pretty Laura…..Happy New Year.
The fashionista has a good eye , gee, I wonder where she got that from 😉 It all looks great!

Excellent job! You rose to the challenge and you gave us lots of ideas! My daughter made one for a Christmas party, how I wish I got a photo. Did you use just a piece of wood to arrange the foods on? I have some ides now for the lakehouse! 😀

Lovely board, looks pretty AND yummy! Wishing you the best holidays and a happy new year for you and your family. xo Kathleen
I need an explanation of the cheese with what appears to be a heavy burgundy “icing” on it. Was it purchased at Trader Joe’s or Kroger? I have both of those stores nearby. How delicious and special it looks.
Of course you had a PINK Party! And it’s beautiful, festive and perfectly placed. Thanks for the diagram of what’s where.
*****Happy New Year******
A wonderful way to welcome the new year, Laura, it looks absolutely festive and delicious. Happy 2019.

What a scrumptious looking board, truly amazing how you put it together! Love it!
I am blown away by how beautiful your table is, Laura! I can imagine you both had fun putting everything together. The effect is no less than stunning. Saved to several of my boards for you. <3
Happy New Year hugs,

This looks just so inviting and delish!!! Have you ever tried Peruvian Peppers? They are tiny and sweet – and yummy. I had them on my charcuterie tray this past holiday!
Only now seeing this. It’s wonderful
