Roost Dinner & Dessert

Roost is one of my top favorite food blogs. Not only is her dietary style similar to how my family has to eat, but her photography is show stopping. Such finesse.

Roost's recipes are predominately grain, gluten, starch, refined sugar free and easily adaptable to dairy free as well.  So if you think eating sans all those foods is boring? Think again!

I get totally excited when otherwise feeling bland about the not eating all the sugary, starchy, glutenous 'junk food when browsing through Roost.

I have my eye on the Pan Roasted Red Snapper with (cauliflower!) Summer "Cous Cous" for dinner and dessert? I'm taking inspiration from the Strawberry Basil Frozen Yogurt ... using coconut milk for dairy free ice cream!

EAT: 2 Soups & a Toast

Oh dinner! I always bookmark or pin pretty food photos as they are just the inspiration I need to make a special dinner, any night of the week. Our lives go by much too fast to eat ugly, half-boxed, pre-made food! Here are 3 of my favorites for March:

2 Soups & a Toast
1. French Onion Soup
2. Curried Lentil, Squash & Coconut Soup
3. Pesto, Shrimp & Garlic on Toast

& more dinner ideas for March on Pinterest!

Beautiful plates, bowls & serving dishes are a must. Beehive makes a lovely serving bowl with subtle detail and I love Ferm Living's Triangle Dinner Mats.

inspiration: the thanksgiving table _thanksgiving ’11

Thanksgiving is near! If you are hosting, do not delay - be inspired & let this be the best Thanksgiving celebration ever.

I am a tactile person and in order to gain inspiration for upcoming celebrations, I gather various supplies, colors & objects (usually from around the house & from my crafty 'stash) that visualize the look I have in mind. The top image illustrates such gathering. Florescent oranges, Kraft paper, natural wood, black & gold. Add in a date/number stamp, Scrabble (or Bananagram) letter tiles and natural linen... and I am set!

This is my Thanksgiving theme & idea springboard:
1. Colors: Bright orange & gold details, black accents
2. Natural and/or white tableware with natural linen-y cloths
3. Playful & papery party favors (yes, for Thanksgiving!)
4. An interactive & family friendly centerpiece

Once I have gathered my ideas it's time to make a project list & get to work!

Be on the lookout! Later this week I will post a mini-book tutorial and ideas for what to use this party favor for (mini-book shown above)! I will also share my idea for a really fun table centerpiece.
