Labor Day + Easy Party Appetizer

Happy Labor Day!  We have enjoyed fun nights and lazy days this long holiday weekend.

Friday night we attended a huge and delicious Lebanese feast at the home of a fellow lacrosse family.  They built a table that can be moved over as an extension of their massive kitchen island and all 14 adults sat around there and grazed family style all night (the kids dined al fresco).  It was such a unique set up! I wish I had thought to get a picture.  I took two Brownie Pies for dessert and will share the recipe ASAP.  They were delicious and easy!

(This top is old from Anthropologie, the patriotic sandals are Jack Rogers and the wristlet is Dooney & Bourke.  I wear my Charleston Rice Beads ALL the time!)

Last night we watched the Notre Dame game from the pool of our besties the W family.  They also have an amazing party set up!  The kids swam and floated all night in the pool, while the adults lounged pool side.  Everyone had a fantastic view of the game on their outdoor movie screen.

For this one, I took mushroom and black truffle flatbread as an appetizer.  We actually enjoyed these the week before while playing cards with the W family!!  These are about $5 each at Trader Joe’s and only require a few minutes to heat in the oven.  They were a huge hit both weekends and will be a new go-go appetizer around here.

As for the rest of our weekend, we watched a lot of TV, played a lot of video games and did a lot of cooking.  (Speaking of which, I now have 4 recipes NOT to make to share with y’all…)

I hope that you and yours enjoyed a nice holiday and that maybe, just maybe you are feeling a little fall in the air.

Sunday Supper {Chicken & Wild Rice Soup}

I made the Chicken & Wild Rice Soup from Magnolia Table for last week’s Sunday Supper and it was delicious.  I served it with a green salad and honey buttered rolls.  Everyone loved it and, like last week’s chicken tortilla soup, this one will definitely go on the fall and winter rotation!  The recipe made plenty for two… Read More

Master Bathroom {Week 4 Construction Update: Doors, Vanity & Paint}

It was another busy busy week here in the bathroom renovation process.  First things first, the doors!!!  We decided to sacrifice privacy doors for the light that they would allow to go back and forth between the bedroom and bathroom.  They are custom doors that were stained to match the existing, original doors in the… Read More
