AOADP – On Location!
Saturday, April 29th, 2017Mushrooms – Guest Post!!
Thursday, April 27th, 2017Good Morning Darlings,
I love mushrooms. Like I REALLY love mushrooms. They are always in my fridge, ready to make something taste even better.
My new friend, Joe, knows all about mushrooms. Do you know they are a superfood? Finally something I love to eat is a superfood (why can’t pizza be a superfood!?!?)
Anyhoo, mushrooms are anti-inflammatory and they taste delicious.
Joe, take it away!
ALL the mushrooms!!
Wasn’t that cool? Now go eat some mushrooms.
xoxo, Patti
Easter Re-runs!
Saturday, April 15th, 2017Good Morning Darlings,
Still crushing on Easter – only 1 more day!
If you are looking for inspiration, here are a couple of my favorite blog post about my favorite spring day. Enjoy!
I’ll leave you with a link to the lemon meringue pie I’ll be making on Sunday. The recipe is by my sweet friend, Brookie Lark, who created the Anatomy of A Dinner Party logo and makes everyone swoon with her famous blog, Cheeky Kitchen. I LOVE Brooke.
Isn’t this pie a beauty? Thanks Brookie!!
Happy Easter my Bunnies!
xoxo, Patti
Hop To It Bunny – At 14th Street Antiques!
Friday, April 14th, 2017Good Morning Darlings!
Easter is right around the corner. I LOVE Easter – all the pretty colors, the nice weather, the leftover ham. What’s not to love?
My favorite thing is to set the table. I attended a meeting this week at 14th Street Antiques and Modern Home and wowza, do they have gorgeous things to set the table with. Take a gander, my little geese.
All that glitters, might be gold!
Swimming in glamour.
Always welcome your guests with a drink.
And for all you Easter fans like me, there’s even a sale on all things spring and gilded. Love.
Color me glitter!
Go visit my fabulous friend Lisa over at 14th Street Antiques and Modern Home and tell her I sent you. You could spend the entire day in there.

Dinner Parties 101 and Traveller Bar
Tuesday, April 4th, 2017Good Morning Darlings!
With spring in the air, I am dying to start planning some outdoor parties. Our new (100+ year old) house has a gigantic front porch that faces a very busy and loud road, but I’m still determined to throw a porch party (or three) this spring to bring together friends old and new for adult beverages and fun conversation.
What do I do for inspiration? Why, I do the same as you – I read dinner party blogs! I love this one, Cup of Jo, who gathered tips from tons of party givers. I even learned a new tip or two.
Warmer weather makes us want to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Or a drive to somewhere indoors. Recently, Eric and I enjoyed a night out at Saltwood, the hotel restaurant at the Loews Atlanta. I am swoony for a hotel bar and restaurant and Saltwood did not disappoint. Incredibly charcuterie, and gorgeous craft cocktails at their new Traveller Bar, which may be gone by now. It’s a pop up! Take a look.
Traveller Bar, as seen in LA. It looks the same in Atlanta! 🙂

I will admit, instead of having dessert in the restaurant, we retired to the bar for another cocktail. So good. Special thanks to our sweet friend, Rachel Peavy, who is the PR Maven for the Loews Atlanta. It was so much fun running into her and catching up.
Go forth, and entertain your friends. Mix up some fresh lemonade and add a bit of grenadine to make it pink and then some vodka to make it boozy. It is such a lovely springtime cocktail! Here’s a great version!
