Dainty spring flowers always bring cheer to an Easter table!  You don’t need many to enjoy the scents and colors of the season either.  Just a few simple blooms can brighten the mood and make a tabletop look special.  Today I’m sharing what my holiday table will look like this year…and how I incorporated grocer flowers in the simplest ways!  I’ll also show how to get creative with your dishes…and I don’t mean just to eat off of.  Simple goodies and lots of recycled items can help you set a festive tabletop for celebrating the holiday.  I’m excited to share how easy it can be to create a pretty table without much fuss or expense!  Let’s get ready to make springtime merriment…

Babybel bunnies will be the cutest addition to your holiday charcuterie or snack boards!  You may have seen larger cheese shaped bunnies made with rounds of brie on Easter platters.  I think they’re so darling but had to wonder if I could create a more 3-D version.  While shopping the cheese counter for inspiration, I decided to try a mini version…and I’m so happy I did!  These little bunny bites are such a whimsical (and delicious) way to add holiday charm to any cheese and cracker platter!  You don’t have to be a food artist to make them either!  So join me while I share the easiest and most fun-to-make charcuterie that’s perfect for any holiday snacking!

Easy Valentine’s Day appetizers are something we can all use for last minute celebrations!  Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering or just need a fun, after-school snack for your kiddos, this simple idea won’t disappoint.  You may already have many of the staple ingredients in your fridge or pantry too!  And if you don’t, you’ll easily find what you need at your local grocer.  Quick food ideas help make entertaining less stressful.  This is why I love using purchased goodies and just embellishing them for the occasion.  It’s never rocket science…just easy and delicious fun!

A Moroccan Dinner Party

A Moroccan dinner party is always a delicious treat!  It might sound daunting, but many traditional recipes are really quite easy.  That goes for the table decor too!  Many Moroccan dishes are one-pot meals AND often times, no silverware required!  So setting this type of table can be super simple.  But just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it can’t look festive!  Easy embellishments and plenty of color and pattern can be achieved with mixing & matching what you might have.  And if you feel like purchasing one or two authentic looking serving pieces, it’s easier than ever to find choices online!  You can try floor cushions around a coffee table which would be very authentic…but a typical dining table with chairs is perfectly acceptable too!  Because my husband lived in Morocco as a child, we often enjoy some of his favorites on a regular basis at a no-frills table.  When we share them with friends we typically like to dress it up a tad to enhance the atmosphere.  Today I’d love to show some simple ways we decorate our table…

easy, Moroccan dinner party inspo!

Snowman cinnamon rolls will be a sweet winter treat!  Serve them up for breakfast, brunch or even an after school snack. You may have seen these cuties circulating social media during the holidays, but just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean the sweet fun needs to be!  You can make them whimsical for the kiddos or create a more grownup version, which is what I’m sharing today.  Either way, this super simple sweet treat will bring bright smiles and happy tummies during the long winter!  Try making a breakfast charcuterie with a winter twist…

Holiday treats are always appreciated this time of year.  I love to serve up something fun, especially when it can be outdoors…even in winter!  You can make wonderful memories with family or friends by treating them to something unexpected.  Bundle up, grab some blankets and try serving some Christmas s’mores in your backyard!  It doesn’t have to be a grand setup either.  A few simple edibles, something to sip, and a fire for roasting is all you need!  Spread the joy and treat your peeps…
