The 8th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party + Door-to-Door Organics giveaway

OMG, you guys. This year my Valentine’s Brunch got to happen ON Valentine’s Day. If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is. The party was sponsored by Door-to-Door Organics. It made party prep so much easier! Most of the party groceries were delivered RIGHT to my door. What a dream! Pictured above: BLT sliders*, Yam and feta quiche, and asparagus croque monsiers using this gruyere of my dreams. *Pesto, goat cheese, crispy prosciutto and tomato…

Super in the City / Door-to-Door Organics

Can you believe I was lucky enough to be invited to a rooftop party in Detroit with Door-to-Door Organics?! I brought my friend Katie who appreciates cocktails and cheese as much as I do. She’s cooler though because she can whiskey it up. I had a beet and carrot juice vodka cocktail and she had a ginger and whiskey situation. We were a couple of the first in line for appetizers. I’m pretty good at…

The 7th Annual Valentine’s Brunch

Sunday was the 7th Annual Valentine’s Brunch! And it was super fun. It involved: cheese plates, mimosas, a few fried things and even flower crowns. (They’re pretty easy to make, if you can even believe it). We all hung out and ate tons of food and drank mimosas by the pitcher.  I kinda wish I would’ve eaten more! And my friends did secret dishes and it made the clean-up so much easier. I feel so lucky…

The 6th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party

Sunday was the 6th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party and Monday was Washington’s Birthday. So I had the day after the party off! It was a Valentine’s miracle! I decorated by repurposing last year’s big fringe garland giving it the horizontal remix. I also decided to cut a big heart (super-jagged-like) out of two pieces of foam core and top it with fringe! For the savory goodness, this year, I made: Cobb Salad Deviled Eggs, breakfast sausage…

Vanilla Party Cupcakes

Well, guys, these cupcakes are totally a party. And I might even have to say that they age well. While putting this post together I had to eat the one I saved for a special occasion. (Obvz.) I baked these Sunday and ate the last one on Wednesday (I shared a ton, don’t go judgin’!) and it was even better somehow! I think it’s because I used fairy dust and magic in the frosting. Those…

Chicken & Waffles Lady Dinner

Sometimes my lady friends and I cook together. We’ve made fajitas, appetizers-for-dinner goodness, pizza, and then fajitas again. This time we had chicken and waffles on our minds. We chit-chatted, drank vodka sodas with lemon, and ate our tasty dinner. We had honey, maple syrup, and hot sauce for topping. My favorite was maple syrup and cholula. Who knew those two would be so dreamy together? So, the moral of the story is this. You…

The 4th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party

Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we celebrated with brunch (again)! The flat is currently covered in pink, red, and gold. There are buntings, fringe, and glitter everywhere. I’m pretty sure it’s on my face right now. I was super into painting things gold and fringe, this year. I even gave the table a fringe-y skirt since the craft paper wasn’t wide enough to cover the whole thing. (Lookin’ good, table!) Eventually I put some chili…

Grilled Cheese Party

Over the summer my entire immediate family was in town! This is rare, you see. We’re split up between Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota. So I figured it’d be fun to get a family portrait or two taken. We don’t really have very many family pictures together. I asked my homegirl Cybelle Codish if she’d be down with taking a few photos, and she said yeah! It turned out the photos were going to be taken at lunch time,…

Valentine’s Day Brunch Party

I love love. That’s why Valentine’s Day is my favorite, I bet. Jake and I hosted our third annual Valentine’s brunch party on Sunday. It was the first in the new apartment! We encourage everyone to bring their appetites, and bubbly. I spent the weekends leading up to the party making those tissue paper pom poms up there. Jake thought I was getting out of control. He thought they’d end up covering the whole ceiling.…
