Weekend Inspired

Originally inspired by my East Coast Soul Mate and Best Friend I've been hosting Semi-Annual Clothing Swaps since 2009.

Last swap I decided to step it up a notch from pot-luck to a champagne brunch and it was a big hit! I wanted all of my friends to come and reap the benefits of swapping even if they'd just donated or didn't have the time physically or emotionally to go through their closets. So I said, 'hey come have brunch at my place and just hang out!' And it worked! I almost doubled my attendance and nearly everyone found a little something to bring.

I've decided on a DIY Waffle Bar for brunch along with staples like eggs and bacon! Everyone has been invited to bring toppings of their choice! I'm looking forward to my banana and Nutella waffle! I'm hoping it will look something like this photo from Christine's Kitchen Chronicles!!!



I was also recently inspired by a girlfriend's Strawberry Cheese Cake Bites that will definitely be making an appearance at my clothes swap brunch! Find Jenny's yummy recipe on her blog Savory Style!

Weekend Inspired

A little inspiration for my Memorial Day Weekend!









What I am most excited for this weekend is the salmon fillets I have ready to grille up tonight.

Close friends are throwing a backyard 'camp-out' engagement party (blog coverage to come) and it's BYO-meat!

I'll also be starting my patio garden this weekend and can't wait for sweet pea flowers to bloom all summer so I can display them in my glass 'Atlas' mason jar collection!

FIY: If you come across 'Atlas' jars while cooking pass them along to me! I collect them, both new and old! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
