Let's Celebrate. Even The Little Things.
I consider this easy homemade bruschetta an oldie but a goodie. I needed something quick to bring over to a friends house for an impromptu Memorial Day pool party and I was inspired by these fresh, colorful tomatoes at Central Market. (I actually don’t like tomatoes all that much but for some reason this works ...
My soon be three year old requested a mermaid party. All little girls love mermaids and thus mermaid parties, right? But this sweet little girl has two older brothers and is in a preschool class full of boys, so we had to switch things up a bit. More mermaids than mateys, we made sure that there ...
The holiday entertaining season is almost over, but if you’re like me you’re always looking for new recipes and ideas for your next party! Fabulous fork free appetizers are the first thing I look for when I’m planning a menu. I like to enjoy my parties so my preference is easy, make-ahead items that just look ...
November's Mimosa of the Month is a simple but special Strawberry Orange Juice Mimosa. With all the fuss around Thanksgiving dinner and the lead up to Christmas I thought something easy might be in needed. With a house full of guests and the inevitable round of parties and open houses that come with the holiday season, ...
I like to mess around with our Thanksgiving Day menu right up until the last minute! And, while I love the idea of trying new things, I try to stick to my general entertaining rule of thumb 'go with what you know.' Even after hours of searching through my favorite cookbooks and blogs, I usually end ...
There’s nothing scary about blood oranges, but with Halloween around the corner it seemed like a perfect time to try out a Blood Orange Juice and Honey Mimosa! Blood oranges start popping up in the grocery story in the fall but are at their best in the winter. They taste similar to a regular orange but ...
Few things scream summer as much as watermelon. It’s sweet and refreshing, not to mention hydrating - just what we need during the brutal Texas summers. Watermelon is not just for kids, and it’s certainly not just for slicing. So as we dive into the hottest month of the year, which also happens to be peek ...
I love a good summer salad. Something light, colorful and easy to throw together. This watermelon salad with feta, arugula and a hint of mint is perfect as a light lunch or a great side when you’re throwing something a little less healthy on the grill. There's some chopping involved but it's basically a throw together ...
Sangria is a summer party staple at our house. It’s not something you drink everyday but it’s a great way to turn an ordinary bottle of wine into something special. With so many options, you’re bound to have ingredients on hand to whip up a batch on short notice. At it's core, sangria is wine, fruit ...
Guacamole is my go-to. Whether I need a tried and true something to bring to a friends house, a quick app when entertaining last minute guests, or a healthy afternoon snack, homemade guacamole never disappoints. Generally speaking, there are a million ways to make great guac. It’s all a matter of preference and what’s handy. If ...
