If you have ever been to Seaside, Florida then hopefully you have had the opportunity to visit the Great Southern Cafe and tried their Shrimp Grits A Ya Ya! They are simply the best. When my daughter said she found their recipe on 30A Eats, then we HAD to try it. The recipe did not disappoint. We made sure to read all of the suggestions and are happy we did because we decided to follow a recommendation and add the Old Bay Seasoning. So, this is my adapted version of an amazing restaurant’s signature dish!

Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps…yum! I serve these as a side dish or as an appetizer. So so easy and are a perfect prep ahead recipe for any special gathering. I pair this with my Asian Spicy Citrus Chicken Wings and Thai Spaghetti Salad. You will be certain to impress your guests with all three recipes!

Any great sporting event meal should start with chicken wings. How about my “Asian Spicy Citrus Wings” then pair them with my, Thai Spaghetti Salad and Tangy Asian Lettuce Wraps! All are sure to be a crowd pleaser and are ideal recipes to prep ahead.

Entree from the Galentine’s Celebration Menu! A great meal to serve your best gal friends or your sweet significant other. If you like a creamy pasta dish with a garlicky lemon kick, this recipe is one to try. Serve with my balsamic tomato salad and a crusty Ciabatta bread. Pairs well with a light white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Thai spaghetti salad is a great addition to any Asian dinner! Lots of crunch and flavor in the marinated veggies. We like our salad spicy, but you can take the heat down a tad if you like less. Perfect make ahead dish to share at your next party. I serve this as a side dish to my Asian Wings!

Easter is just around the corner! Crisp green, black and grays make the felt bunnies and leafy dishes come alive. Love how the multiple short table runners add to the naked table design doubling as a placemat when run across the table.

Braised short ribs cooked slow and low in a rich citrus broth. Mix with your favorite Asian noodles and a variety of vegetables for a great weekend dinner. Pairs well with a robust Malbec or a fruity Shiraz. Enjoy!

Setting the table for a tea is my favorite part of preparing for a special celebration! Couple any beautiful meal with a gorgeous tea set and you will have elevated the experience. And who doesn’t love a simple decorated egg gently tucked into their napkin. The bright fuchsia florals combined with cool pink and mint plates come alive with the spectacular tablecloth from @latavolalinen! I have rented this tablecloth for multiple occasions. It is a go to design (Maya White) when paired with my favorite florals!

We enjoy zucchini made every way possible once our garden is up and prolific. This recipe is super easy and the filling freezes nicely for a pull from the freezer quick fresh dinner.

Spicy Pesto Grouper with zucchini spaghetti!!!! Nothing better than a beautiful piece of grouper from your local fish market paired with a creamy pasta. This recipe is so good…Bon Appetite!

This cornbread recipe is the base layer for my smoked brisket and egg brunch entree. The key to this recipe is the well-seasoned cast iron skillet! Mine is from my grandma! My recipe is an adaptation from Pampered Chef.

A Mother’s wedding luncheon tablescape. Beautiful turquois plates combined with cream and gold accents and a creamy rose bouquet set the tone for a light fresh gorgeous luncheon.

Taking a table scape outside to enjoy the fresh green hues of spring make this Easter celebration even more joyful! The florals along with the @latavolalinen linens turn this beautiful combination into a special affair.

Galentine’s Day celebrations are just as important as Valentine’s Day! Celebrate the friends who lift you up! Blue vintage glassware coupled with vivid reds then enhanced with a range of pink and white florals create a wonderful table scape for your best gals!
