Barbecue Board
Wow your crowd with an awesome spread of meats, sides and sauces. Smoke your own meats and make your own sides or, better yet, pick up the meats and sides from your favorite barbecue joint. This board is a celebration in itself and such a great way to enjoy food and time with family. All of the yummy details are in my Beautiful Boards cookbook (pages 134-135).
Potato Salad with Baby Red Potatoes
Potato Salad with Baby Red Potatoes makes a flavorful summer cookout side dish. With red onion, salty bacon, fresh parsley and tender red potatoes, it’s my favorite potato salad to make any time of year. It goes great with a barbecue, burgers, or any grilled favorites!
Build-Your-Own Burger Board
A Build-Your-Own Burger Board is such a great way to let everyone enjoy their burgers just the way they like them with a great variety of toppings and spreads to choose from.

Hot Dog Board
Hot diggity dog, everyone will go crazy for this Hot Dog Board that offers hot dog halves with an amazing selection of toppings and snacks to go with them. It’s an easy, fun and delicious way to serve hot dogs!
Steak Board
Steak night, done right! We either sous vide and then sear our steaks in a hot cast iron skillet or we reverse sear them on the grill. Either way, the steaks turn out so amazing!
To sous vide and sear the steaks:
- Seal the steak with salt, pepper, fresh rosemary & fresh thyme.
- Sous vide at 129° for 1-4 hours.
- Pat dry and then salt & pepper.
- Sear in a couple tablespoons of butter and canola oil in a steaming hot cast iron skillet, adding fresh thyme, rosemary and garlic to the skillet just after the steak.
- Spoon the liquid on top of the steak as it sears.
- Sear until browned all over, no more than 2-3 minutes total. Slice & serve. Watch this story highlight on Instagram to see how they turn out.
Here’s a great how-to post for reverse seared steaks. Serve with a garden salad, Caesar salad, and crusty bread.

BBQ and Cheese Board
How about a BBQ and Cheese Board to munch on while celebrating dad?! To make this board, we usually pick-up the meat from our favorite BBQ joint and pair it with a variety of cheeses (blue cheese, Ivy’s vintage reserve white cheddar, Thomasville Tomme & White Stilton with apricots).
Then we add a variety of spreads, sauces and accompaniments: bbq sauce, mustard, jams, honey, grilled baguette, grilled corn, watermelon, cherries, pickles, jalapeños, onions & beets. Such a great way to enjoy BBQ and cheese together!
