Weekend Brunch Anyone?

Since it’s Thursday, it’s definitely not too early to start thinking about the weekend. I love a good weekend brunch. As far as entertaining, this is an easy peasy one in in my book. Check out the menu for a brunch we hosted recently. Yogurt Parfait Vanilla yogurt, layered with pomegranate seeds (Trader Joes has these freshly harvested for you). Diced green apple, and walnuts Serve in pretty glasses like these from Sur La Table Freshly baked almond croissants Full disclosure, I never make these myself. I don’t know why I ever would when the guys at Bakery Nouveau put…

On second thought, “Top 11” Summer Favorites…

Addendum: We simply couldn’t pass up a sale on lobster at our local little market for $10 bucks a pound. I requested a lobster roll, and the Chef (husband) quickly obliged. The simplest things are always the best: Simply pull out the meat, toss with small amount of mayonnaise, lots of freshly squeezed lemon juice, diced onion, diced celery, dill, italian parsley, salt, pepper and VOILA! Then just spoon into a buttered (we grilled ours) bun and there you have it. A little slice of summer heaven.

Outdoor Entertaining

Hosting a dinner party is so much fun. From conceiving of the menu…to farmer’s market shopping for it…to table scaping…to carefully arranging seating, it is one of my favorite ways to entertain. I especially love dinner parties that are outside. This past weekend the weather in Seattle was actually somewhat cooperative and we were able to host some guests in our yard. Note: my oldest helping herself to the cheese board before being whisked off to bed, by our most dear sitter. As the meal is the main event of the evening, we plan multiple courses designed for lingering and…

Salty Sweet

I can officially report back that I survived non-profit event season (oh and helped to raise $915,000 towards the Seattle Art Community at the latest one on Sat….ahhh, smile) and I’m-ma back to bloggin!’ I have to admit some guilty indulgences got me through. Like food obsession du jour, salt and caramel. My fav. are local Seattle company Fran’s Chocolates Gray & smoked salt Caramels. P.S. I learned these are also Barrack Obama’s favorites. Salted caramel is a new emerging food trend. Trust me, tasting is believing. And if summer is actually happeneing where you live (we are anxiously awaiting…
