Little Chefs In the Kitchen Event Details


Thank you ALL so much for your positive feedback on this event. This is going to be a fun way to get your kids, nephews, nieces, etc... involved in the kitchen. Those of you who don't have kids-yet, no worries! Get hubbies to help! ( you know who you are!)

Here are the guidelines:

-Make something that is easy for the kids to help you with...no restrictions at all, it could be anything- drink, dessert, main dish, snack, its up to you.
- Take a picture that shows little hands, arms, elbows...you get the drift , no faces (for privacy reasons) helping you make the recipe.
- If your kids are too young or you don't have any, just submit a recipe that is "kid-friendly". Fair enough?
-Attach a picture, a perma-link of the recipe, initials of the Little Chef and mail it to:

spicewholovedme@yahoo.ca


The Deadline is : February 20th, 2007

Have Fun!- that is the most important guideline of all!

Any questions, comments, email me directly.

Spring Tablescapes

Spring Tablescape Ideas

The upcoming spring season marks an opportune time of year to incorporate a fresh and rejuvenating change to our home’s interior. Since a large amount of quality family time is spent around the kitchen or dining room, it’s a good idea to start the spring makeover in this area of our homes to encourage a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your next dinner party. Before you bring the spring influences into your new dining décor, assess your existing space by taking note of the colors and patterns you’ve brought into the room through your dinnerware collection, lighting, and wall colors. Often times you’ll find inspiration through your dining room collection and will be able to enhance the charming accents your room has to offer with a new spring theme.

If you want to start completely fresh, consider using a neutral colored table cloth and match it with a refreshing green or light yellow runner down the length of your table. Decide how you want to dress up the space with an existing set of decorative dinnerware or with a festive centerpiece that is perfect for the season. Keep in mind that fresh flowers stored in a clear glass vase with a vibrantly colored ribbon wrapped around it can be the simplest yet most perfect focal point of any spring inspired dining table. Adding a tiny bouquet of flowers to each place setting will really tie in the “breath of fresh air” tone you want to set in this space and will make your guests appreciate all of the finishing touches you took the time to perfect to make this meal special.

Whether you’re planning a meal that leans toward a casual or formal event, adding light pastel or brightly colored candles to each end of the table will add a subtle fragrance to the room while your guests arrive and converse. Scented candles add a warm and inviting environment to your dining room and are easy to cover when it comes time to eat the delicious food you’ve prepared. With that being said, don’t forget that the menu you create can always contribute to your spring table theme seeing as how you can match the food’s colors, scents, and flavors with this rejuvenating season.
