How amazing is this football field table? A little fabric, white tape and cardboard cut out letters makes a statement.

super bowl party inspiration: flatbread pizza

Happy Friday!

The weekend begins today and I only have one more post after this for Superbowl inspiration.

Today I am sharing the tastiest item on my Superbowl party menu and tomorrow it’s all about the details!

The modern take on traditional party food- Flatbread pizzas are bite size, so delicious and easy to make- definitely a crowd pleaser

Buffalo Chicken

Chicken & Black Bean

BBQ Chicken

Mexican Hamburger Flatbread

Pesto, Mozzarella & Sun-dried Tomato

My favourite? Artichoke dip as the base, chicken, bacon, chopped spinach and goat cheese YUM!

You add pretty much any topping and it will be a great appetizer or meal.

gourmet sandwiches

Good morning!

Last week I posted about some of my favourite soup recipes, one of my favourite pairings for soup is a yummy sandwich (a great with salad too of course).

Last night we had gourmet sandwiches and soup for dinner- it was delicious and simple!

The Gourmet Grilled Cheese: this is a go-to in our home. use your favourite bread, fill with mozzarella, avocado and bacon then grill on a george foreman or cook as you would a grilled cheese.

Turkey, Apple & Brie: this is a delicious sandwich which tastes gourmet yet is so easy to make. It’s great for days when you have turkey leftovers. Slice your favourite bread, spread whichever dressing you like (we like honey dijon mustard), add turkey, brie and thinly sliced apples. YUM!

Brie, Steak & Arugula Sandwich

The Gourmet BLT

Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki Sandwiches

resolutions

The first week of 2014 has come and gone and after discussing the beginning of a new year with everyone over the last few days, I’ve decided to share thoughts with all of you as well.

I love hearing what everyone’s favourite moment of 2013 was, because even if you didn’t have the best year, there’s got to be one moment that made you truly happy.

I like to set goals for the year, not necessarily resolutions, not changes or breaking habits but something to look forward to!

It’s true what they say, people who love to eat are always the best people. I am going to continue my cooking adventure! Food brings people together so I will to try new recipes, entertain, and enjoy my guests.

I’ve made it a goal to save and go somewhere I’ve never been. A little adventure is always necessary

I will continue to learn, network and make connections.

What’s for dinner tonight

Happy Friday Everyone!

What are your plans for the weekend? It’s freezing here so I’m hoping to stay indoors as much as possible!

Tonight’s dinner is a comfort meal- perfect for a warm night in

Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna with a garden salad

(I love this recipe because you can freeze individual pieces for lunches or quick dinners and it’s still delicious!)

For dessert: Home made chai tea latte and left over christmas cookies..

We’re also working on ideas for a sweet girl’s 13th birthday in February.. This is what’s on the inspiration board so far

new year’s eve

Happy Sunday everyone!

Christmas may be over but the party planning definitely is not- New Year’s Eve is just a few days away and I’ve got a ton of ideas. It’s one of my favourite events to plan because you get a room filled with excited guests celebrating a year past and a new year ahead, and lots, lots of glitter!

Here’s what’s on my inspiration board

cheers
