This Fall Fiesta food board celebrates the flavours of autumn, featuring a medley of grilled, roasted, and fresh ingredients that will take your palate on a thrilling adventure.
Welcome to the heartwarming tradition of Bites on Boards! In our family, we believe in the magic of coming together around a carefully crafted food board, savouring each bite, and sharing stories. We do this once a week, typically on a weekend day. This cherished tradition has now inspired me to share the experience with you through a series of culinary creations that promise to delight your senses and awaken your palate.
Below you have a list of all the ingredients used for this Fall Fiesta food board. The quantities will depend on how big your charcuterie board or platter is. The board pictured in this post is 74 cm (29’’) x 28 cm (11’’).
Cheese
- Pepper Jack Cheese with Jalapeño: Spice things up with Pepper Jack cheese featuring fiery jalapeño bits, adding a kick of heat and a creamy, cheesy indulgence.
Meat, Cold Cuts, Fish & Eggs

Bread & Beyond
