our oh-so talented friends… Alicia and Adam Rico of Bows and Arrows just bought a 1920’s house to be closer to their amazing store/gallery/ on lower Greenville. They plan to start doing “wedding/party inspired” photoshoots monthly to post via their blog and if they are as adorable as this I can’t wait! Pink, yellow, vintage, yummy and lovely. Enjoy, it’s been a really long time since I’ve done an entertaining post. Thanks so much Rico family for sharing your little parté for two with us!
and so little time… buckle up buttercup because spring is here and that means folks are buzzing about soaking up the fantastic weather! I’m beyond excited to share with you the perfect brunch that I indulged in courtesy of Two Hot Potatoes a couple of Sundays ago. TDF, I’m just sayin’. And, so I hear, super easy to make but let me tell you this, it was super easy to devour!! Put this one in your cookbooks friends and check out their foodie blog. These two lovely ladies have a big love for mouthwatering cuisine and life.
I know we all can’t wait to get to Sunday morning and whip up this yummy breakfast feast, but in the meantime you should definitely be aware of and check out all of this, all on Saturday: the White Rock Farmers Market; The Dallas Flea; Dash Down Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day run and parad; my crazy funny friend, comedian and singer/songwriter, Dave Little at Opening Bell and Tim is the DJ (aka Tim Flannery, talented creative director at NM and part time fab DJ) at Lee Harvey’s! Like I said busy busy busy…all good stuff so choose wisely or if you’re like me, attempt it all.
Happy sunny-days! Be sure to read below to get the details, photos and recipes from this savory spread.
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!!
