with a little help from our friends… (Wedding No. 4) A few years back, I, along with several other good friends helped throw a wedding for Shay Ometz and Jeff Barfoot, owners of Bee Things. I asked them to dig up the photos so I could share them with you. We are all designers and love to throw parties so we knew we could pull off this cute little backyard shindig. The bride wore green and thus set the tone for the whole evening. Hope you enjoy!
good gracious it’s cold! I’m layered today…seriously, I look like a bag lady and I won’t blame you if you don’t stop to say hi but I can say that I am warm. In light of the weather in the teens today and this weekend I thought it might be nice to wrap up the weekend with something hot!! I searched for Mexican Hot Chocolate and found this one on Cowboys and Indians by Cowgirl Chef, Ellise Pierce — The Sassy, Saucy Culinary Capers of a Dallas Girl in Paris. Her blog is great. I have heard about it from many other Dallasites. It’s FULL of amazing recipes, gorgeous food and videos. I’m shamefully addicted to anything food, love watching people cook it and I love to eat it. Food network, food blogs, food in general…I’m a fan.
Cheers! Have a great chocolately warm weekend! (recipe below or visit the C&I original post here)
time to kickback and savor the weekend… or if you’re like me, your weekend has suddenly become jam packed. But all in all it’s all GREAT stuff and I’m thrilled, it will be tons of fun. I leave you with the hope that you will enjoy a moment with good friends and maybe a refreshing beverage or two, possibly this cucumber gimlet.
Below is the recipe thanks to the help of my wonderful and gifted culinary friend Kim Donlon.
Have a fantastic weekend!!
let’s celebrate! One last quick thing before I sign off for the weekend…whether you are headed for the lake, the pool or to float the river, I hope you get to cool off, relax and enjoy your long weekend.
I’m leaving you with some fun, super easy recipes for your July 4th entertaining: a little bevy: Summer Beer, a little salty: Spicy Mixed Nuts and a little sweetness: Swimming Suit Sugar Cookies.
Have a great 4th! Cheers!!
birthdays are fun. I love getting people together for dinner or any other reason but I especially enjoy intimate dinner parties and this was a great one. It was Kim’s birthday and we got all of our friends together from Boot Camp to celebrate! Color palette was predominantly orange and the thought behind the evening was “bubbles and birthday” …not so much in the kiddo bubbles (although that was the invite, pictured above) and birthday cake but in the adult version of champagne and cupcakes.
