Spring Table Prettiness!

It's not the beach....but the next best thing

Since we did not make it to the beach this week, I decided to have my dad over for dinner and make a beach inspired meal. I just used things around my house to decorate: mason jars with twine tied around for glasses, starfish and kraft paper for the center of the table and pages torn out of an old atlas for place mats (from beach states of course!). I made Barefoot Contessa's shrimp scampi, a nice salad and corn on the cob. We also had a yummy baguette. For dessert I made mini individual mixed berry pies with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!!

Happy Father's Day!

I was so happy to be able to spend Father's day with my dear ole' dad and sweet hubby (who is a dad to Hank). We went to 10:00 a.m. service at church and then came back to our house for a brunch. I made yummy thick cut bacon, cut up some fresh watermelon and used Barefoot Contessa's sticky bun recipe to make some yummy num-nums!! We also had pineapple juice (my fav). Later, we took my dad to see UP! which was so cute. If you haven't seen it yet, get yourself to the movies now! For dinner, we went to my dad's fav. place, Red Lobster, a.k.a "Red Rooster". Fun was had by all :)
