Rustic wood cutting boards

I’m a sucker for a good wood cutting board. Ya really can’t have too many!

The best ones are somehow the ones that you’ve had for ages and the age is starting to show – it gives them that rustic character that goes beautifully with the crusty bread you cut on it.   I made the mistake of putting my new bamboo cutting board in the dishwasher… It came out all warped and bent, but I kinda like that.

Your beloved cutting boards can double as decoration if you lean them against the backsplash on your counter.  This will give your kitchen a homey-gourmet feel.  If you display them like that it may look like you regularly cut onions and plum tomatoes on them to make spaghetti sauce.  Or that you cut your freshly baked bread on it right before you smear some strawberry preserves on.  It’s all about the image, right :)

Wood cutting boards also come in handy as serving trays, or serving platters.  When I have guests over I love to put appetizers out on a cutting board – it makes the whole gathering just so much more casual and cozy.  It also makes for the perfect cheese platter.

Alternatively, if you just made a stack of sammies you can carry them out to the patio on the board.

What else do you use your cutting boards for?

    Okay so I’ve never heard anyone say that you can never have enough cutting boards. But I do have a weird desire to go buy some too now, hahaha!
