An herb inspired Thanksgiving table is a beautiful, aromatic, and easy way to decorate for the feast!  And if you love bringing the outdoor in, this simple table idea might be right for you.  Whether you replant herbs from your garden or purchase a few from your local market, you can continue to use the garden greenery in your culinary delights for months to come!  I wanted to keep our holiday celebration on the simple side this year, but that doesn’t mean my table won’t look pretty.  You might have guessed I’m using herbs to enhance my table decor as well as my feast flavors! Along side every day dishes and paper products, the herbs provide botanical beauty in a simple setup! Let’s get ready for the feast…

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…

Blue and Neutrals for the Easter Table!

February 19
No comments yet

Blue and neutrals might not seem traditional colors for Easter.  But this color combo can create a casual, farmhouse feel that is beautiful for any holiday!  Unexpected colors are always a visual treat and allow you to utilize dishes you love.  It can be fun to set a fancy table, but it is never necessary to obtain an inviting atmosphere where guests will want to linger.  To me, this is what holiday dinners should be about.  So today I’d like to share a more casual version of what my Easter table will look like this year.  Simple and rustic but not missing holiday vibes!  Easter comes early this year…but you don’t have to stress.  A relaxed table never means uninspiring!   I hope you enjoy this casual inspiration…

Almond cookie bites are a delicious treat that will be perfect for Valentine’s Day!  They’re easy to make and so yummy that they’re almost addictive!  The tiny bite-size goodies are one of my family’s favorite desserts.  The recipe makes a bunch so you can serve some and keep some in the freezer too.  I love desserts that freeze well so I can keep them on hand for impromptu get togethers or anytime you need a sweet snack.   With Happy Hearts Day approaching fast, I thought they’d be a delightful to serve or give!  I’m sharing the easy recipe today and I hope you love them as much as I do! Let’s celebrate Valentines with the yummiest little bites!
