Healthy Halloween snacks are often an anomaly. Cookies, candy and limitless creative confections for the holiday are readily available…and darn cute too! But sometimes a healthier nibble is preferred to offset the sugar intake for the month! So today I’m sharing the easiest idea you can serve as an appetizer or even an after-school snack! An unlikely vessel makes it whimsical for the holiday and just the right size too. A bar cart staple will help you create Halloween “shooters”…that anyone can enjoy!
Autumn tones are lovely for easing into the fall holidays! Halloween is coming at us faster each year…and if you like to plan ahead it can be exciting to see all the color and spooky cuteness. But if you love to savor the seasons, you can still get in on the fun in a more subtle way. You don’t have to go all orange & black to celebrate the holiday. If you enjoy a more neutral palette I’d like to share some softer, sophisticated table ideas for your seasonal festivities! Colors that can work throughout the entire season will help you tweak your decor from late summer right up to the Thanksgiving feast! So let’s get some early “spooky” on and…
A summer fiesta is such a festive party theme! The bright colors and patterns just make you happy…and the food options are equally delightful!

Keeping it casual but filled with fun, thematic decor makes each party special and easy to pull off. It warms our hearts to see our guests enjoy the festivities to the fullest! So today I’d love to share some ideas for hosting a summer fiesta (or any gathering) so you can share that joy! For those who have followed along, you know I love super casual entertaining. But once in a while it’s great to go all out…but you can still keep your sanity and budget in tact! I hope you find the inspiration I share today helpful for your next big or small event. And be sure to grab a special coupon code and recipe at the end! Let’s celebrate the remainder of summer…
A summer salad board is a wonderful way to present a light, casual meal. I’m a big fan of charcuterie boards and this twist is one of my favorites! It’s a super easy way to present a healthy meal option in beautiful fashion. If you have a large board or platter you’re equipped with what you need…along with your nibbling options! You can go right from your kitchen to patio table and allow your family or guests to dine in serve-yourself style. Just like a traditional charcuterie, pile on all your favorites for a customized meal! Let’s enjoy summer with no-stress outdoor dining!
