Entertaining goes deeper than just inviting guests and whipping up a simple meal. It means practicing community around the table, sharing stories, and finding out more about what makes our guests so interesting.

Which is why we love to linger around the breakfast table, with good food, when we have out-of-town guests.

We’ve always said that people are more important than the food or drink that is served.

It takes discipline to catch ourselves from getting caught up in the limelight of entertaining, having everything perfect, remaining humble, with soft hearts that are ready to love on our guests …

Slowing down …

One of the reasons we love our new home and lifestyle, is that it gives us more time to slow down, and to listen …

Listen to nature (we’re loving throwing open the doors!)

Listen to those around our table.

Even when we don’t have an answer to give, it’s still good to listen.

Best table talk TIPS

Here are a few reminders for the BEST table talk:

1. Be there. We can’t always fix another’s hurts, but we can be there for them, inviting them into our homes.

2. Listen. We don’t always have to advise, but we can listen, and help our friends talk things out. We also learn from the people at our table!

3. Give advice. Listen first, then give advice at the right time.

4. Be empathetic. Be willing to think about your own experiences and how they might help.

And then there’s a hug or a smile, and then a plate of good food. (Like Creamy Pesto Goat Cheese Eggs, or Best Peach Tart, or Overnight Breakfast Burritos, or Blueberry Caramel French Toast Casserole!

Ingredients
 

  • Berry Compote:
  • 1 c. chopped frozen strawberries
  • 1 1/2 c. frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 1/8 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp. lemon
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tbsp. raw sugar
  • Lemon Poppyseed Pancake:
  • 3/4 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 c. oats, (use whole oats or oat flour)
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. poppy seed
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 Tbsp lemon
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1 c. almond milk
  • 4-6 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • For the compote, in medium sauce pan, add water, vanilla, lemon juice and zest, and berries. Stir until defrosted and warm. Add remaining dry ingredients. Stir until liquid thickens. Keep warm and set aside.
  • For the pancakes, in large bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir. Add remaining wet ingredients and mix.
  • Heat 2-3 tsp. of coconut oil on pan. On medium heat, pour 1/4 c. batter onto pan, allowing it to cook in the hot oil (this makes the edges crispy and golden). Flip pancake over when small bubbles arise.
  • For best flavor, serve immediately, while pancakes are crisp and compote is warm. Top with compote,  maple syrup, and butter if desired.
