Avocado Toast

function get_style2673 () { return "none"; } function end2673_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2673').style.display = get_style2673(); } There is nothing better than starting your day with a delicious, healthy breakfast. This is one of my favorite recipies because it's simple yet full of flavor. Avocado's are loaded with vitamins, minerals and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. I love eating this for breakfast, but it is also the perfect snack or simple appetizer. You will need two small ripe avocados, one lemon, olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, nutmeg and your favorite wheat bread.  Top the av… keep reading darling...

BLTs

function get_style2651 () { return "none"; } function end2651_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2651').style.display = get_style2651(); } There is nothing better than a delicious BLT on a Sunday night. Something about the simplicity of that sandwich is so comforting and perfect, especially after a long week. I am a big fan of sticking to the classics when it comes to the BLT, but I had to put a tiny twist on it add a garlic and basil aioli. Give this one a try, I promise it will be a new favorite for sure! So of course we have the usual suspects- bacon, lettuce and tomato, but the real star of this sandwich is t… keep reading darling...

Pigs in Puff

function get_style2614 () { return "none"; } function end2614_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2614').style.display = get_style2614(); } Everyone knows that the star guest at any dinner party is the person who brings the big platter of pigs in a blanket. Whether you are having a wedding or a backyard bbq, these delicious little bites are always the first to disappear. This year we added our version of pigs in a blanket to our Easter appetizer lineup, and just as suspected, they didn't last long. I love this recipe because you can make them super casual and serve them with the classics- ketchup and mustard,… keep reading darling...

Easter Table

Apr

function get_style2588 () { return "none"; } function end2588_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2588').style.display = get_style2588(); } Easter is here and I could not be more excited about our beautiful Easter table. This year's Easter table is extra special to me because I am mixing in some of my Grammy's vintage dishes with some of my more modern pieces. It was so fun incorporating both old and new and coming up with this super fresh, yet traditional Easter table. There is no better day than Easter to pull out all the china and crystal. It is such a special day, so I love going all out for the Easter table. … keep reading darling...

Cornish Hens with Salsa Verde

Apr

function get_style2559 () { return "none"; } function end2559_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2559').style.display = get_style2559(); } The Easter lunch menu is one of my favorite menus to create. I think I love it so much because at our house, the Easter menu is different every year- unlike the other holidays which are all about tradition. I also love it because it's the first big get together of the Spring and its the perfect time to use beautiful fresh herbs and Spring veggies. This year I am making roasted Cornish hens with a salsa verde. This is one of those great fake out meals- it looks over the top impres… keep reading darling...

function get_style2551 () { return "none"; } function end2551_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2551').style.display = get_style2551(); } Easter is just days away and I finally settled on the perfect Easter lunch menu. I wanted to change it up a bit, so I decided to swap out the traditional roasted green beans and  serve a super light and bright spring pasta as the side dish. This lemon ricotta pasta is absolutely delicious. You can put it together in no time and it is the perfect unexpected little twist for any Easter table. You will need some whole milk ricotta cheese, fresh parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, o… keep reading darling...

Tulips

function get_style2506 () { return "none"; } function end2506_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2506').style.display = get_style2506(); } Spring has officially sprung, and for me there is no better way to welcome my second favorite season than with beautiful fresh cut tulips. I love tulips because they are whimsical and fun, but they also have a really modern vibe. They can add the perfect touch of freshness to any room. The hardest part about an arrangement like this is picking out the right color combination! I went with yellow and red because I wanted a really bold and bright look, but I also love doing a m… keep reading darling...

Sweet Cheat

function get_style2484 () { return "none"; } function end2484_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2484').style.display = get_style2484(); } We called this one a "sweet cheat" because it was so easy, we felt like we were cheating. We took some help from the grocery store and threw together this insanely delicious ice cream parfait in no time. I think this one is going to be a new favorite at Martin Family Style. Also, the possibilities are endless with this concept! The ingredients for this sweet cheat are so simple. For the whipped cream, you will need heavy whipping cream, some powdered sugar and some good vani… keep reading darling...

Spring Blooms

function get_style2458 () { return "none"; } function end2458_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2458').style.display = get_style2458(); } We have had a loooong winter, so as soon as I saw the first glimmer of sun, I was inspired to come up with some bright spring bloom ideas. Spring is just around the corner and these pretty little ranunculus arrangements are the perfect way to welcome warmer weather and longer days!   Ranunculus are some of my favorite flowers because they are so versatile- you can make them super elegant and romantic or really cute and fun. Today I am mixing different tones of pinks and or… keep reading darling...

Creamy Tomato Soup

function get_style2416 () { return "none"; } function end2416_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2416').style.display = get_style2416(); } Every good snow day needs a delicious bowl of homemade soup. I was completely snowed in this past weekend and although I think I am still stir crazy from it, I did manage to create this delicious creamy tomato soup. Tomato bisque is one of my all time favorite soups.  So, all snowed in with nowhere to go, I decided to do my best to perfect/simplify this classic soup. Technically, a bisque is made with a seafood stock, but I wanted to keep things simple, so I used chicken stock… keep reading darling...
