Rooftop Library Garden Style

It was such a joy working with Madison and her mom, Beth!  Beth and I were in high school youth group together. It was an honor to do the flowers and catering for daughter Madison and her fiancé Zach's wedding!! 

They had the wedding at the First Baptist Church in downtown Jacksonville, FL. Their reception was held at the Downtown Public Library.  

Her colors were Green & White with a pop of Black!  It flowed beautifully with the outdoor setting at the Library!  

Thank you for the privilege of this memory!

Recipe of the Week

My Recipe of the Week is a family favorite!! It is Orzo Power Salad!  It is great to make ahead and nibble on it all week!  It's light and refreshing and takes very little time to make!

I use:

1 pkg Cooked and drained Orzo pasta (while it's cooling, spread it out on a cookie sheet and drizzle it with vegetable or olive oil to prevent clumping)

1-1/2 cups Mixed Power Greens; rough chopped (kale, Spring mix, spinach, arugula) or plain Arugula is wonderful. 

1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese

1/2 cup Pine Nuts; toasted 

1 cup Craisins (I use Cherry flavored)

Fresh Chopped Basil (small bag)

1/4 cup Veg or Olive Oil or to taste

S & P to taste

Enjoy with Roasted Chicken Breast or a slice of your favorite pizza!

Bon Apetite!

Seafood Brunch

A delicious Crab Cake Benedict was the centerpiece entree for this seafood brunch. It was preceded by Bang Bang Shrimp and Fresh Ceviche as appetizers. 

Herb Roasted Red Bliss Potatoes snuggled up as a side and the kids had yummy French Toast Sticks with 4 different toppings!!

Chef Scott loves what he does!! 

These fruit and water filled beverage dispensers are a wonderful way to "wet your whistle" and refresh yourself on a warm day in Florida!  

Thank you Gaby for allowing us to be a part of such a wonderful day! God bless you as you begin your "happily ever after"!
