Savory Egg, Leek, Herb & Goat Cheese Crêpe Squares

I love making crepes. Albeit they take some practice so if you don’t get them on the first try keep trying, you will. Plus, eating the mistakes is a great perk! I made these for brunch this weekend. I’ve also made this version of them for brunch with my girl friends a while back (like last year!). They’re great to make ahead & to serve at room temperature. They also look super posh & make for a completely satisfying breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Dress To Impress & Cook While Entertaining at Home


Dress To Impress & Cook While Entertaining at Home. cute aprons.

Are you throwing a Super Bowl or an Oscars party this year? if you're going to be cooking while your guests are arriving don't worry about christening your game day gear or chic award worthy frock with guacamole - that's what aprons are for.  Just because you're cooking & entertaining at home you don't have to look homely - long gone are the days of house dresses & shapeless aprons thanks to the super sweet options that sometimes I wish were really a whole dress instead of looking just like the front of one!

(If you're wondering what to wear under that apron these are some of my go-tos for socializing & eating in style.)

Faux Cake Stand

diy a faux cake stand

I've yet to acquire an official cake stand. I've seen d.i.y. versions of cake plates with a candle stick & drilling a hole into a plate but I haven't had time to do that, so when I had my girl friends over for lunch I made a quick impromptu version of a cake stand.  All you need is...

Sassy Sipping

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10
Recently inspired by a photo my gal pal Amanda posted on facebook of her little girl having a tea party with her baby brother, I thought it would be fun to dream one up for myself. Of course at my tea party there would be coffee as well as tea (both hot & iced).

I really think I need these latte bowls in my life - they are just so cute & I'm in love with the idea of wrapping my hands around a little bowl of a frothy latte.  Then for the really hot days I would need these coffee bean shaped ice cube molds for  my iced coffee cubes (to drink with these pretty straws of course!).   And who doesn't love honey in a little pot like winnie the pooh or this teapot set that  reminds me of my cousins.  Naturally there would have to be a cute outfit based on this cute apron two of my best friends gifted me for my bridal shower that I wear in real life not just in my tea party dreams.

What will you have? Coffee? Tea? Me?

P do S: Happy Wedding Anniversary to my parents & Mr. & Mrs Watson!
