Easter Around My Table
Posted in Around My House, My Photography, Parties, Seasons, tagged Easter, flowers, my photos, printables, spring on March 21, 2012| 2 Comments »
This year’s pre Easter brunch is behind me. As I’ll be away from home I’d already had the pleasure of hosting it. What I’m really proud of are the marzipan carrots *big smile* on top of the carrot/oatmeal cupcakes. I’ve used my ‘Happy Easter’ printables for the table decorations, available on etsy again. And here is what you can do with them:
Retro bike

With warmer weather just around the corner it feels like it’s time to get ready for the biking season. As I’ve sold my Retroglide back in Singapore, it’s time to find a new one. And everywhere I go I notice fantastic bikes and get inspired. They are so photogenic *smile*

Easter inspirations

For Easter this year I have chosen a vivid & happy design and table setting. It’s a sunny yellow, fresh green and a touch of lilac. The printables that include a greeting card, food tents, blank note cards, stickers and cupcake toppers are already on sale. I’m hosting the first pre Easter brunch this weekend so I’ll be able to show you the overall look. In the meantime wishing all a great weekend!

My ever favorite – French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup Recipe
INGREDIENTS
6 large red or yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced.
Spoon of butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups of beef or chicken stock
1 cup of dry or semi dry white wine
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon of dry thyme
Salt and pepper
8 slices of toasted French bread
1 1/2 cups of grated Swiss Gruyere with a little grated Parmesan cheese
METHOD
1 In a large saucepan, sauté the onions in the butter on medium high heat until well browned, but not burned, about 20 min.
2 Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the stock, wine, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover partially and simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.
3 To serve you can either use individual oven-proof soup bowls or one large casserole dish. Ladle the soup into the bowls or casserole dish. Cover with the toast and sprinkle with cheese. Put into the broiler for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately.
Bon Appetit!
