Food Friday... Pancakes!

How cool is this- a pancake bar at a wedding?? Um, yummy! But more than the pancakes, I am in love with the display. Why can't my weekend breakfasts look this great? I know how important presentation is, but I'm always lacking when it comes time to plate my food. I love the chalkboard frames , the pillars, the floral arrangement... I just love everything don't you?

If you need some recipe inspiration, here are a few

Coconut Pancakes with Caramel Sauce

Maple, Walnut, and Flaxseed pancakes with strawberries

No recipe for these, but don't they look yummy!

Summer Whites

If money were no object I would purchase every single one of these outfits. What is it about white in the summer? Does it get any better?? Along with a statement piece of jewelry, or scarf, cool leather sandals or handbag, and of course a no fuss beachy hairdo- white is an absolute must! Now most of the time I am happy with my Target purchases, but every now and then I would love to splurge!

Vintage Silverware

I adore vintage silverware. I don't actually own any, but I want to! I'm always on the look out for a good deal when I'm at the junk store, but have yet to score. I just received the new Napa Style catalog (which I never purchase from because it's way too expensive). I guess Michael has started to carry a line of "Vintage Silverware by the Pound".

Here's the lowdown on the silverware:These authentic vintage utensils date back to the ’ 20s and ’30s—all fine-quality, silver-plated, and newly polished to perfection. They’re gathered from estate sales, vintage markets and antique stores all over the US and Europe. And so what if the pieces don’t match? That’s half the fun! It’s a true celebration of life—the second time around—and a most meaningful form of sustainability. Hand wash for better preservation. Patterns and dimensions will vary.

What do you think, are you in to vintage silverware? Would you use it, or just display?

Food Friday...Umm, Can you say Yummy!

Yet another business idea that I love! I so, so, so would like to have a Pop-Bar here in good ol' Reno, Nevada! How cool, right? Gelato, sorbetto, and yogurt on a stick using fresh fruit! Here is the lowdown on these treats!

PopGelato on a stick is a handcrafted and customizable treat. They are made daily from fresh fruit and ingredients shipped directly from Italy with no artificial coloring or preservatives. Do you love our popGelatos and want to add a personal touch? No problem! With myPop you can create your own unique popGelato... from the stick up!

Craving something delicious and refreshing? Our popSorbetto, made with 100% real fruit, is a healthy way to keep you energized and on the go! The possibilities are endless; you can enjoy our basic popbar or personalize it with myPop by adding our premium poppings and dips.

Are you bored of eating your yogurt with a spoon? Try our 100% natural popYogurts on a stick. They are made daily in house with fresh ingredients imported from Italy, and with no artificial coloring or preservatives. Feeling Indulgent? Sprinkle on a few poppings, or splash on one of our premium chocolate dips with myPop! Shhh, don't worry! It will be our little secret.

Happy Friday,
