Summer Soirees – Vol.2 – S’mores, Please!

July 10, 2013

Summertime is so reminiscent of childhood, don’t you think? Summer break, going to the beach, no responsibilities… well, not really, but don’t you wish!? For me, summer is all about working hard and playing hard — Nantucket is the best place to be for both!

On days off my favorite thing to do is pack up and head to the beach! And the one thing
that makes the end of the day so much sweeter is a good s’more!

I don’t know about you, but as I get older, making and eating the “average” s’more
has become less and less fun. So, I took to Pinterest and drummed up
some pinteresting ideas to spice up my favorite summertime dessert!

The first one to catch my eye was this delicious-looking one:

The Chocolate Lover’s S’more

Now, THIS is my kind of S’more! So decadent I’m certain I’d only be able to eat one!
Chocolate graham crackers, chocolate marshmallows and a milk or dark chocolate bar!
I’m currently obsessed with Green & Black’s Almond Chocolate bar – which would turn this into a
Chocolate Rocky Road S’more! YUM!

Lemon Meringue S’more

This one looks so refreshing! Tangy lemon meringue with a vanilla marshmallow!
How could you go wrong?
Jaclyn, at Cooking Classy has the right idea about how to spice up the original s’more recipe…
I can’t choose just one! Click here to view more ideas!

If you’re interested in making everything from scratch here are some links to help!
Marshmallows – via MyRecipies.com
Graham Crackers – via Smitten Kitchen
Chocolate Bars – via From Scratch Club
Add whatever you like to your homemade s’mores ingredients to come up
with your own tasty version of this summer staple!

One thing I learned writing this post –
The love of s’mores is so great that they even have their own holiday!

What kind of s’mores will you create this August 10th?

Cheers,
Julie

Trash to Treasure – Week 4

July 8, 2013

We hope you’ve been enjoying these little “treasure” posts as much as we have!
Creating something from the not-so-pretty blooms and materials we have left over is very rewarding.
Last week consisted of designing for Fourth of July parties, so when it was Hristina’s turn
to create a little treasure from trash, the holiday was right there to inspire her.
Hristina has some beautiful colors at her finger tips… Orchids, Stock, Ranunculus,
Garden Roses, Spray Roses, and Eucalyptus leaves.
The end result was a girly version of our Stars and Stripes!
What girl wouldn’t love this adorable pastel flag!
Three dimensional art like this would be a great display for the Fourth (next year, of course!) – maybe secured with some ribbon and hung? Or propped up on a buffet or bar table? This kind of art is a great conversation-starter, too! 
It’s fun to think outside of the box! 
Until next time… 
Cheers!

Summer Soirées

July 3, 2013

We are excited to kick off another weekly topic – Summer Soirees –
 where we will discuss delicious recipes, and entertaining tips!

Summer is officially upon us, and you know what that means: it’s time to prepare for picnics, barbecues, and summer soirées of all kinds! We wanted to share with you some recipes that caught our eye (and our taste buds).

First things first, what could be more appropriate to entertain with than the Edible Flowers from 101 Cookbooks?
Use them to dress up your yummy desserts, or surprise guests by freezing them inside of ice cubes to beautify their drink of choice! If only all flowers were edible.

Our team of ladies always get giggly when lunch time rolls around because we all tend
to pack the same foods. One staple item you will always find in our lunch sacks is hummus.
So, in light of our hummus obsession, we are excited to try this Lemony Hummus by Smitten Kitchen. It would be a perfect and healthy addition to that sunset picnic on the beach!

On Nantucket we are surrounded by several farm markets, which make it easy to find fresh fruits and veggies.
To kick off the first day of summer, strawberry picking was obviously on our to-do list. 
This recipe for Roasted Strawberry and Toasted Coconut Popsicles by Joy the Baker looks like a wonderfully refreshing way to use up some of the (countless) strawberries picked.
Last but not least, a summer soirée is not complete without a tasty cocktail (or mock-tail) in hand. Champagne is always a crowd pleaser, and this Champagne Royal from Your Southern Peach looks delicious to sip on while enjoying the company of friends, family, and sunshine.

CHEERS!
Kelsey
