SHS Costal Vibes

Good coastal vibes of the summer by the water. This tablescape won't make you crabby, it makes you happy. #goodvibesonly #summer tablescape #coastal tablescape

I love crabs, but I don't like picking them. Crab cakes are just right for me and here's my recipe:

I 16 oz. can of Phillips Jumbo Lump Crabmeat

(I purchase mine from Costco)

2 Eggs

1/4 cup of Unseasoned Bread Crumbs

1/4 cup of Mayonnaise

1 tsp. of mustard

1 tsp. of Old Bay Seafood Seasoning

Blend all the ingredients except the crabmeat. Fold jumbo lump crabmeat into wet ingredients, keeping it from breaking up. Form into balls by rolling into palms. Drop on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees or until golden brown. Serves 3-4 depending on size you choose.

ENJOY!

SHS Beach Blessing

Outside celebrations have been a great opportunity to social distant without losing the fun of being social. I created this table setting idea I hope you can use. Leesylvania State Park was such a great setting for this beach inspired tablescape.

I am celebrating summer, hope you are enjoying it too! Hydrangeas is one of my favorite flowers. Join me in my garden with these fun tablescapes ending with a little tea party.

This simple chicken salad was tucked into mini croissants.

Here's my recipe:

2 Diced Chicken Breast

2 Tbsp. of Diced Onion

2 Tbsp. of Sweet Relish

2 Tbsp. of Mayonnaise

Season with Salt and Pepper to Taste

Toss together vigorously.

These sweets treats will be a hit at any tea party and fun to make with children.

Just the right bite size and sweetness.

There's only three ingredients needed and no baking required .

Easy Cake Pops

Bakery Doughnut Holes

One container of Frosting

Container of sprinkles.

You will also need wooden sticks of skewers (cut to size).

Dump sprinkles onto a plate.

Pierce each doughnut whole with stick and dip and roll into frosting container.

After covering with frosting roll into plate of sprinkles until fully covered.

Tip: Smaller granular sprinkle cover easier.

Refrigerate if not consuming immediately, to keep frosting firm.

I believe in improvising whenever necessary. Tablecloths don't come in as many varieties as I wish and can often be pricy for a really nice one. A full size curtain is usually 50" x 84". The blue velvet curtain I used for this setting is from IKEA and measures 55" x 98". For full coverage, purchase one to fit your table and use a curtain (including shower curtains) as an overlay to bring in additional color to your table setting. Layering your coverings create a formal and elegant look.
