A coffee bar is a wonderful addition to any breakfast or brunch gathering!  If you’re hosting any kind of event during the wee morning hours, coffee is a drink most guests will appreciate!  You can include other beverage alternatives too…but the basic idea is to set up a self-serve station that’s easy!  Today I’m sharing how I used my patio buffet to create an outdoor coffee bar to celebrate fall!  The great thing about this kind of treat table is that you can honestly set one up anywhere…a countertop or any piece of furniture that will hold the goods will do.  Add in some simple pastries for guests to indulge on and maybe a seasonal decoration or two and you have a morning treat that will start the day on a sweet note (and a kick of caffeine)!  So let’s raise a cup of joe to fall AND styling a simple coffee bar!

hello coffee bar…hello fall!

Fun with s’mores isn’t over just because summer is winding down!  In fact, my family actually eats more of this gooey treat during autumn than any other time of year!  When the temperatures begin to drop we look forward to gathering around a fire & roasting those mallows to then squish them between chocolates & cookie crackers! (not to mention eating them!)  We’re lucky to have a pretty lengthy fall around here so I love coming up with new ways to enjoy this sweet treat all season long!  Today I’ve pulled together three fun ways to serve them with a twist along with tutorials & recipes to help make it easier!  I’m even sharing a couple decorating favorites AND a simple hack should you encounter a baking disaster! 🙂  Let’s stock up on the traditional supplies…and add s’more ooey gooey delight to your fall festivities!

let’s have s’more fun with s’mores!
