Erin Sluka - Parenting Healthy

One of my new favorite servings is charcuterie. I can offer to bring or serve charcuteries on every event and it will always be a little different. I can change up the cheese and meats I use – add fruits or veggies and even change up the boards I serve on. Getting fun or unique serving boards is one of my favorite gifts. Lynn & Liana Designs has gorgeous serving trays and cheese boards that are hand-poured and meticulously crafted individual works of art!

I have the navy, white and metalic design that reminds me of ocean waves as they crest on the sandy beach. It is so beautiful and my first thought was how great this would be as a wedding gift or house warming.

Lynn & Liana Designs boards are eco-friendly and 100% Canadian Made. Each piece is made from the highest quality of Acacia hardwood. The accents (like my navy, white and metalic) are eco-friendly resin. No two boards are exactly alike. Their boards are designed with Ecopoxy, a plant-based epoxy made from recycled bioproducts including; palm oil, soybean oil and cashew nut shells.

Many times I will make my own rub combining spices I have, but it is easier to buy blends and save the time.

Recently, I used their Smokey Southwest on some pork I smoked for taco night. It was the right flavor – smokey, not too spicy and everyone loved it!
