WOW……the days are flying by and it has been so long since I have done a fashion vision board post. I decided to try again. My old board posting site closed down and a new company/format took over and its taken me a little time to get it right. Soooo here goes…These are some of my favorite styles for fall…As always, I am loving leopard, anything fur and embellished shoes. J Crew has had some amazing pieces…and I added a few splurges in there too…because a girl can dream, no?
I told you if we waited a couple of weeks, the really good merchandise would start rolling in. The Port Chester Home Goods store was packed with an outstanding selection. I am hoping that this continues and I am going to try to keep up with the weekly or every other week re-caps. All of the merchandise below was spotted yesterday!! Happy Shopping!!!!
This week I wanted to share a quick easy family dinner that I started making last fall. It’s a great choice and the spinach and kale combo fills it with just the right amount of superfoods. It will be very hard for your family to turn this dish down!!!! Bon Appetit.
I cannot believe that next week marks the beginning of November….this year FLEW for my family. I really need to get on the fall decorating. I have done a little but I need to get more done before hosting our annual Thanksgiving dinner. I think I will start with my bar cart. I love some of the ideas that I found below. My favorite is the one with the feather arrangement!!! But I really do love them all.
I was so excited to hear that Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa’s new book will be available tomorrow. This new book is titled, Cook Like A Pro: Recipes and Tips For Home Cooks. Here is the summary:
In her new cookbook, Cook Like a Pro, Ina Garten shares a brand-new collection of recipes, tips, and techniques, so readers can cook with confidence no matter how much experience they have in the kitchen.
As America’s most trusted and beloved cookbook author, Ina Garten–the Barefoot Contessa–has taught millions of people how to cook. A home cook at heart, Ina knows that cooking and entertaining can be difficult, so to make her recipes simple and streamlined, she tests and retests each recipe until it’s as straightforward and delicious as possible. Although Ina is completely self-taught and doesn’t consider herself to be a “professional” cook, she has spent decades working with chefs and learning the techniques that take their cooking to the next level. In Cook Like a Pro, Ina shares some of her most irresistible recipes and very best “pro tips,” from the secret to making her custardy, slow-cooked Truffled Scrambled Eggs to the key to the crispiest and juiciest Fried Chicken Sandwiches. Ina will even show you how to make an easy yet showstopping pattern for her Chocolate Chevron Cake–your friends won’t believe you decorated it yourself!
For Ina, cooking like a pro also means hosting like a pro, and along with know-how like how to tell when a filet of beef is perfectly cooked, you’ll find dozens of other great ideas to boost your cooking and entertaining skills such as how to set up an elegant home bar and how to make an impressive Raspberry Baked Alaska that can be completely prepared ahead of time so all you need to do is finish it for your guests before serving. Beginner and advanced cooks alike will love Ina’s delectable recipes, and if you have questions along the way, don’t worry–Ina’s practical cooking advice talks you through every detail, as though she were right there by your side.
With beautiful photos and a treasury of pro tips that span prepping, making, and serving, as Ina says, “You don’t have to be a pro to cook like one!” – Amazon.com
