Spring is for sure in the air, as our family worked in the yard all weekend stringing lights, blowing, mowing, cleaning, planting … you name it. It takes work to get ready for spring and summertime entertaining, but once the hard work is done, it’s so worth it.
I cleaned off the back patio, making room for guests–any time of the day.
This time snipping fresh tulips from the front yard.
Pulling out a summery entertaining tray.
And fresh yellow napkins.
Sometimes I’m not too good with final garnishing and presentation details, because I know my guests are waiting and I want to serve the food while it’s hot. But I have learned to think ahead to the serving dishes that I may be using and to set them out in advance.
This time, it took me about 15 minutes to pull breakfast together and serve it to my guests on our back patio.
Easy Greek Scrambled Egg Pockets, served in this long white serving dish.
So easy to make.
Simple presentation.
Bright and cheery.
Fresh and summery.
Realistically we didn’t even use the plates.
You hear “the secret is in the sauce?” Well, how about, “the secret is in the serving dish?”
Don’t you find that the “right” serving dish can make or break the presentation of the food you are serving?

Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message.
