THE BUBBLE KITCHEN · A SERVING IDEA

The no-cook market board

Cheeses, figs and crackers arranged on a wooden serving board

A flexible dinner idea, not a shopping assignment: start with what you have, add something fresh, and put it all on one board.

  • Choose a cheese you love and some bread or crackers.
  • Add washed seasonal fruit and sliced vegetables.
  • Bring in a ready-to-eat protein, such as hummus or cooked chicken.
  • Finish with a little bowl of olives, jam or another favorite.

Keep the components separate so everyone can build their own plate. Adapt textures and sizes for younger children and choose ingredients that suit your household’s allergies.
