Stay for Dinner

STAY FOR DINNER: Family and friends gathered around the table, enjoying each other's company over good food, blessing the meal and each other...some of life's best moments. On this site I'll share with you some of the best and the easiest of my extensive recipe collection, as well as new (to me) recipes and my latest experiments. I'll recommend substitute ingredients and alternate ways to prepare most of the dishes so you won't stress over following the recipes to the letter. Now draw everyone into the kitchen to share a glass of wine or iced tea with you while you cook. Engage your spouse & kids or last-minute guests by delegating the slicing & dicing, pot-stirring or table-setting. Get creative and use what's on hand to reduce time-sapping trips to the store. Relax and enjoy the process of spreading a feast before your loved ones.

Aren't These the Cutest Things, Ever?!

My latest IKEA purchase:
Drommar, with the two little dots over the 'o'. Four washable, reuseable plastic doilies...
$1.99
 Use them singly or in tandem:





And not just under cakes!
Here I've arranged a few store-bought
(gasp!) cookies because a friend's coming over and it's her birthday week. So now the ordinary is just a bit special. Perfect for drop-in company, too. Other manufacturers make them I'm sure, but $1.99 for four is hard to beat. IKEA has cake-top stencils for the same
                                                            great price.
