Spring is upon us which means many of us will be hitting the farmer's market! The great thing about farmer's markets is that you know what's in season and wheat you should be buying because that's what the farmers are selling! Now, things can get a little tricky if you don't have a great market for shopping. You aren't always guaranteed that the produce is going to be the best quality. Not to worry! Here is a great guide from the folks at The Kitchn to help you navigate your way through the produce department.
Nate Berkus, I love you more today than yesterday! I know I have already professed my love for Mr. Berkus but I just have to reiterate how great his show is! It is definitely the perfect "talk" show for me. Case in point...last week, Nate had a guest on the show that showed how to take every day take out food and turn it into a million dollar party appetizer. That's what I'm all about! You don't have to spend all day in the kitchen cooking up a meal from scratch just to have a dinner party! Pick up the phone and call in an order then use these tips from my friend Nate to turn it into a party.
Yep, you heard it right. Humble little popcorn is a party ready pantry worthy item! This is something that is almost always in my pantry and it is the perfect base for some wonderful flavors.

Don't be afraid to add your own flavors to make something all your own!
This is the perfect example of why I love paper so much! Just look at this fabulous party I spotted over at Hostess with the Mostess (my fave!). Almost ALL of the decorations are made from paper! It's proof that you don't have to spend a ton of money on decorations to make a great party. All you need is a package of construction paper, some scissors, and a little glue and you have yourself the makings of a pretty party. And..it kinda takes you back to your grade school days! Feelin younger already!:)
