GRAND RAPIDS, MI — No one is bored with a board! Take your entertaining to a new level with some help from registered dietician and national spokesperson for The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Grace Derocha.

You’ve seen them on Pinterest, these amazing boards will satisfy every taste! We start with brunch, a little savory and a little sweet. You can include everything from bagels to lox, to eggs and sausage. Don’t forget those hashbrowns! On the sweet side, you can include pancakes and waffles, berries and syrup. This is your time to get creative!

And make sure you’re the most popular house on the block this winter with a hot cocoa board! Everyone will be smiling when they’re done with sledding when you have one of these. Butterscotch chips, white chocolate, marshmallows and sprinkles are all great choices! Candy canes and cookies are also fabulous additions. You just whip up the hot chocolate, and let everyone customize their drink!
