With Memorial Day just a week away, my goal for the Book Club for the next few months is to find you great beach reads. Fun light, and quick reading will be my main focus. Sooooo for today, I have chosen, Searching for Beauty: The Life of Millicent Rogers, the American Heiress Who Taught The World About Style. Doesn’t this sound amazing…I cannot wait to start it…Here is the summary:
This morning I went to a very beautiful breakfast party to watch the Royal Wedding. In fact it was so much fun celebrating with our friends and so festive….. Who really needed to be at Windsor Castle??!!!!!!! !! I have captured some great photos from the party and also shared some of my favorite photos from the festivities in London!!!! Hurrah for Meghan and Harry!!!!!
The party favor..Meghan and Harry commemorative mugs…I already used mine!!! Oh and a tiara borrowed from a very stylish guest!
Now Onto The Wedding!!!
Its back!!!!…the Home Goods Round Up…I have not been to Home Goods since the last post so this was longgggggg overdue!!!! I found some really great things, esp for Summer Entertaining!! All of these items were found yesterday at the Home Goods in Port Chester. Happy Shopping!!!
I found this recipe on Pinterest At Mother’s Day dinner, I noticed that the lemon desserts were so popular. I started thinking that I really never bake anything lemon. Soooooooooo I thought I would try this. Also, I was very happy to read that it is Weight Watchers Friendly, i.e. LOW POINTS!!!!! Bon Appetit!!!!!
1 small box of instant lemon pudding mix.
¾ cup of oil.
¾ cup of water.
4 beaten eggs.
2 tbsps of melted butter.
⅓ cup of lemon juice.
Over the weekend, I tackled my pantry. It seems to be one of the most disorganized areas of my house. Probably because, everyone is always going in there looking for something. I bought chrome baskets for the shelves. I keep chips, hot chocolate, pasta, crackers, mixes, ziplocs and foodwraps, etc. sorted in each. On the top shelf I keep cans and sauces. Because you can see through the baskets, it makes it very easy find everything and to put the groceries away. I have not bought plastic storage containers, for cereal and rice, yet but thats next! (I think they will go on the bottom shelf)!!
Here are the BASKETS that I use in my pantry. I also like THESE to hold canned goods. And HERE is a great set of storage containers!!
Last week, I went to the most delicious tasting menu dinner at the Beach House Cafe in Old Greenwich. We tried many of the appetizers and entrees. From Tuna Tartare to Seafood Risotto and Crackling’ Duck, everything was amazing!!! I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. I hear they also have an incredible brunch, which I am going to try next!! The decor was also very hip and added to the enjoyable vibe of the restaurant.
