the weekend table setting

This past weekend was too much fun. Six of my all-through college to today girlfriends ventured from Auburn to the icey skating rink that was my driveway to have a "girls retreat." The weekend would consist of a big dinner and brunch at my house and a trip to the Fox to see Beauty and the Beast, so I decided to do something special for the girls. I pulled out all the stops for the place settings: we're talkin' gold chargers, miniature roses, Mom's good china, a designed themed menu (turned bookmark), wine cork napkin strings, name cards, and wine glasses. Check out how it all came together...


my easy [yet chic] weekend table setting:
tablecloth turned table runner
miniature roses in mason jars
name cards and menus on cardstock
old wine corks with ribbon attatched
gold chargers from hobby lobby
glassware - wine glasses and bowls
mom's china

I love, love, love how it [and the breakfast cassarole] turned out!

SO SIMPLE B|FAST CASSAROLE:
1 lb cooked turkey sausage
grated cheese [sharp or mild cheddar]
4-5 eggs
1 c. bisquick mix
2 c. milk
salt & peppa's here
[to kick it up a knotch, add bellpeppers +/- onions]

Cook sausage, drain. Put in the bottom of a 13x9 pan. Sprinkle cheese over sausage. Mix together eggs, milk and Bisquick. Pour over sausage and cheese.
Bake 20-25 minutes, 350 degrees.
[try it with mango peach salsa!]

DELISH FRUIT COMBO:
pineapple chunks
mandarin oranges
grapes
strawberries
blueberries
apple chunks
banana slices
[+\- whatever you like]
SECRET ingredient: peach pie filling

Mix and enjoy!
