DSC_0065

I’ve been trying to use up all of my herbs since I don’t have the window space to keep them all winter long. There are so many great ways to use or save your herbs after harvesting, but making compound butters is always one of my favorites. Everyone loves butter, right? This is so easy to do and really brings a nice change to your bread at dinner or you can use it melted over pasta, seafood, etc.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

DSC_0594

When I was little my favorite part of Halloween wasn’t the candy, but pumpkin seeds. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t love the candy, but I could have that any time of year. The pumpkin seeds were a seasonal treat. I’ve yet to find them in the store prepared the way I like, so they are still a treat that only comes once a year. I’ve made them a few different ways over the years. I have a quick version that is tasty and of course there are some fun flavors as well, but this recipes brings out the flavors and tastes just like my  mom used to make. If you have the time, this is the way to go, and it’s really not that much more difficult!

Have I mentioned that I love bread? I can ruin any good dinner by diving right into the bread basket. I’m a carb fiend! Give me a delicious butter or spread to smear on top of it and I’m in heaven! I’m also a huge fan of dips, if you haven’t figured that out by some of my recipes. So, give me some bread and something to dip it in and I’m in heaven. This one is delicious and so easy. If you’ve been to Carrabba’s you already know how tasty it is. It’s easy enough to treat yourself on a weeknight while you prepare dinner or serve it up as an easy appetizer for guests.

I adapted this recipe slightly, by adding more oil and less garlic. It makes the dip go further and doesn’t make you a social pariah with garlic breath! You can also use all fresh herbs with this, just use more when you are using fresh herbs. Enjoy!

This dish is quintessential fall to me. The colors are gorgeous and remind me of beautiful autumn colors. The flavors don’t disappoint either, the tartness of the bright cranberries pair well with the earthy elements from the wild rice and vegetables. This salad looks like a treat, but is so healthy for you! It can be made ahead and used as a side dish or lunch, but I’ve adapted it slightly and can be served warm as well {see notes below}. Whether you’re preparing it for yourself, your family, or for a function it wont disappoint in taste or presentation! Feel free to add  your own adaptations to the salad dressing, as the salad itself can really handle many different flavors quite nicely.

Speaking of beautiful colors and presentation, can we discuss these beautiful linens? They’re from Hen House Linens and I absolutely adore them! I first stumbled upon Hen House earlier this year. I had purchased the Bargello Navy dinner napkin to simply use as a prop for my blog photos. I loved the pattern and the color is gorgeous in print as well as in real life. After repeated washings I realized that I loved this cloth napkin and must have more for my own personal use. The color never faded, the stains came out effortlessly, the feel of the linen was just a great as when I first bought it, and wait for it… I never iron it. Never! I’m an ironing addict. I iron sheets. I’ll admit it. That’s what happens when you grow up around a luxury resort. These napkins, they don’t need it. Also, when I love a product I like to do a little research about the company. It’s so easy to do now, so why not? I learned that not only do I like the product, but I also agree on  “The Hen’s” views of hospitality and “gratuitous living.” She writes, “It’s all about making the people you welcome into your home feel comfortable and cared for. (This includes the people that live in that home with you!) It’s that intangible that makes you want to linger at the dinner table or pull up a chair and visit. It’s about hospitality without feeling stuffy or too proper. It’s knowing that this time right now is special.” I couldn’t have said it any better. It’s how I was brought up and it’s how my home operates now.

So, why am I waxing poetic about Hen House Linens? Because through a funny little story (I placed an order, my blog was recognized, and then I gushed on and on to customer service) we realized that my readers needed in on these linens. So, one lucky reader is going to win a set of 4 dinner napkins in the pattern of their choice.
