I love reading and learning about New Year’s Food Traditions from around the world. Some many traditions claim good fortune, long life, etc. Check out our blog this week to learn a few.

Our team sends holiday greetings to you and your family (even the furry ones). May your season be as meaningful to you as your continued patronage to us.

A tablescape is simply a blanket term that combines your table’s centerpiece and place settings or the overall decoration of your table. Tablescapes set the mood in an event – whether it’s a garden wedding, an intimate dinner party, or Sunday brunch with friends. A tablescape is meant to elevate an entertaining experience. It’s a way to show your guests that you care about them and that the meal is special. This doesn’t have to be something that you spend a ton of money on or even any money at all! Some of the prettiest tablescapes I’ve ever seen have included flowers picked from the yard and everyday dishes.

Teachers are probably the closest things to superheroes we’ll ever know. They play such an important role in caring for our children and shaping who they’ll turn out to be in the future – no easy job. There are many ways to show a great teacher that you appreciate all their hard work, but when it comes to selecting teacher gifts for the holidays, some parents really feel stressed about coming up with the perfect gift. Does it really exist? We know that whatever we give will just be a “token,” something to let him or her know that we appreciate them, but it’s hard enough to try to figure out what to give our loved ones! Budget, tastes, and time can make buying teacher gifts an unappealing holiday chore.

Deck the halls and begin the holiday food frenzy with something festive, elegant, and best of all, easy! When it comes to putting together a holiday dinner, so much focus is put on the main dishes, whether that be a ham, a turkey, or what have you. But the first thing that your dinner guests are going to taste are the appetizers, so you'll want to make sure you've got some memorably delicious bites for them to snack on before the meal starts. These appetizers are perfect for getting a party started and for keeping it going smoothly to the main course.
