Making Beautiful Things

~Mary Palumbo

Celebrate mom this Mother’s Day with a beautiful outdoor table setting in flowers. Using natural wooden chargers and simple cloth napkins add a special outdoor touch. These simple but beautiful details are a sure way to make her feel extra special.

Wow her with both savory and sweet for brunch: Herbed Fresh Ricotta Tart and Roasted Delicata Squash, Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad with Extra Virgin Olive Oil Vinaigrette or Almond Poundcake and Strawberry Cream Cheese Star Bread are sure to satisfy.

Presentation can make even the most simple dish stand out. Served on a colorful plate as a backdrop, this Classic Roman Cacio e pepe spaghetti with the added touch of edible flowers on top brings charm to the dinner table and a smile to her face. Dried roses add pops of color.

Refreshing dessert is welcomed with Watermelon, Campari and Fresh Mint Granita or Lemon Pastry Cream Mixed Berry Tart. Make it whimsical and fun by setting out a variety of plates and glasses dressed with flowers. Be Inspired!
