I've created a breakfast board for four, but clear off the kitchen counter and make it for 40! Festive and fabulously France meets Uncle Sam with this red white and blue beauty. Add a pinafore and a spritzer and you got yourself a party. -Libbie Summers

Place your granola in another container (in the red white and blue theme natch...I used an old altoid box that had been thoroughly cleaned and decorated with a French sailor graphic. Place your honey in a low container (never put a bear on a table...ever).
2. Decorate Your Board: Now have fun and place everything in a red white and blue pattern on a large cutting board or platter. I did mine like a French flag-because I think I'm French. Decorate with flowers and place on a surface with cute napkins, bowls and spoons for folks to serve themselves!
Make it a PARTY.
Add a festive cocktail like this Southern France Sprinkle Spritz.

I'm wearing the Pinafore Apron in indigo chambray. Flattering, chic and impeccably made.
