~~~Dinner with Family and Friends!!!~~~

Hi my friends! I know I have been MIA but we have house guests. Joe's sister and Bil are here from Fl. for the week and we are keeping BUSY! Last night our daughter and SIL came here from work and Joe's cousin, Bonnie came over and my best friend, Wenda. It was a full house. We had a very simple dinner: grilled chicken, potato salad, fruit salad, greek salad with greek dressing and deviled eggs and baked beans! It was all yummy but the best part is spending time with loved ones. I set a pretty simple table and thought I would share. I started with a plain white tablecloth and layered on my green and white placemats. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSXRrIRmISs-V6L5fO_L7kGYsr6axmqc4llkbsqDFOiuuFtdV4MIOgl4eRTtxH4G5t-UXrtWoo5HZwy_zHRHIZJ5H3U_EHh8MYCkE5Fcpvy755ME7F-GOHZpBjZOVR3X_zgH4WBrSamJcC/s1600/IMG_0351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSXRrIRmISs-V6L5fO_L7kGYsr6axmqc4llkbsqDFOiuuFtdV4MIOgl4eRTtxH4G5t-UXrtWoo5HZwy_zHRHIZJ5H3U_EHh8MYCkE5Fcpvy755ME7F-GOHZpBjZOVR3X_zgH4WBrSamJcC/s640/IMG_0351.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> My embossed white dinner plates then a black and white salad were layered on top.

Today I wanted to share my new "winter" wreath! I made it with mostly things I had on hand, then added faux succulents!  I wanted something simple that would carry me for the few weeks til SPRING and Easter and bunnies etc.!!! Sorry fpr the background but my work station is in the storage area of the basement. I will share that one day soon:):) I always make my wreaths on an easel. It makes it much easier to see for correct placement. I started with a grapevine wreath and the first thing I placed was this piece. Then I cut a fern apart and added fern fronds all around this center piece.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwiNlrMcdPCTqoVex29h2qzuv6Cu7njfDImU6dpipDQyFDl19TKqlR5edwdoW5oI1lhWR-MqMQUjEVtERfFJc2CQ6dieyl3cAkgy8r9QIO1YWv-oiPoPkiFvj385R-t5UCXCPHxO5n110/s1600/Winter+wreath+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwiNlrMcdPCTqoVex29h2qzuv6Cu7njfDImU6dpipDQyFDl19TKqlR5edwdoW5oI1lhWR-MqMQUjEVtERfFJc2CQ6dieyl3cAkgy8r9QIO1YWv-oiPoPkiFvj385R-t5UCXCPHxO5n110/s640/Winter+wreath+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Next was some pods that I had.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Z4WgE_EeN6euo8nnbYS-b6JnjF65QdaQibW3E7xcuDd48zZ_q9cqvrzp6kz_JgeELNuBZVBdwTP-AkKrHYR9GeFKtF4GXQmwy2ei8F-LMVKKJRqscmb46MpyxbeQcXH61T7bpXNsF80/s1600/Winter+wreath+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Z4WgE_EeN6euo8nnbYS-b6JnjF65QdaQibW3E7xcuDd48zZ_q9cqvrzp6kz_JgeELNuBZVBdwTP-AkKrHYR9GeFKtF4GXQmwy2ei8F-LMVKKJRqscmb46MpyxbeQcXH61T7bpXNsF80/s640/Winter+wreath+003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I also added some pieces of eucylyptus that I had...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHThEqGMNPGPvzh_4OyHRojAqzUTNsCh2LnX_UcudIMnVngKqIQ2HjOC6GvPToKv7KYvHT6JyBIn5lUbnpUHs_doXKcF9krJxnBY1Yfp3j4s0zfgid2xuy07HiGIk7m812vEsoCfABhIQ/s1600/Winter+wreath+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHThEqGMNPGPvzh_4OyHRojAqzUTNsCh2LnX_UcudIMnVngKqIQ2HjOC6GvPToKv7KYvHT6JyBIn5lUbnpUHs_doXKcF9krJxnBY1Yfp3j4s0zfgid2xuy07HiGIk7m812vEsoCfABhIQ/s640/Winter+wreath+004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> and the faux succuletns.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TWUyZEbPk1sJOr-vrTjUp4HVidKv1epDU-uHRj3S6wAplShpY0f2-rGOhuGzxLNz4cAD4Ehl14PXETsfYJtuhZRH-98rbe8miolZXx2WxoL15Ac5LwXj2stkdJzD8POKMsWpqCodqho/s1600/Winter+wreath+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TWUyZEbPk1sJOr-vrTjUp4HVidKv1epDU-uHRj3S6wAplShpY0f2-rGOhuGzxLNz4cAD4Ehl14PXETsfYJtuhZRH-98rbe8miolZXx2WxoL15Ac5LwXj2stkdJzD8POKMsWpqCodqho/s640/Winter+wreath+005.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I had 2 of these pod picks that I liked and placed at the ends of the wreath, top and bottom.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx6h6RnuFbDTZ8ArU0EOwxU-A4l-5jljgH7CDWBsTWsLhRZ2JWOu08g3_z_xwBlPEBNdKsxjALlqw5pJlgFYZZjnEaOg_FaEOceHNbkgigqIm7j-3z_-9zuoR-PWTkVtIMfME8TYsnrSs/s1600/Winter+wreath+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx6h6RnuFbDTZ8ArU0EOwxU-A4l-5jljgH7CDWBsTWsLhRZ2JWOu08g3_z_xwBlPEBNdKsxjALlqw5pJlgFYZZjnEaOg_FaEOceHNbkgigqIm7j-3z_-9zuoR-PWTkVtIMfME8TYsnrSs/s640/Winter+wreath+006.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> There are different ways to fill a wreath: fully, all around, along the top, or along one side.  For some reason I am always oriented left to right so when I do a wreath on one side it is always on the left side.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFST_VhyphenhyphenVBMqumWFoYFLP2MDIWPVzjJl5sgRzgLVZkguMZTAJMkZNT5cz5P6LFawGh81GsfcwhM4B4uEjDffsIB_JWWkOwHDvm0H6aTMQjWhAWpvm2wDC90VWcSZdcQO1ymQDrfO9qvvw/s1600/Winter+wreath+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFST_VhyphenhyphenVBMqumWFoYFLP2MDIWPVzjJl5sgRzgLVZkguMZTAJMkZNT5cz5P6LFawGh81GsfcwhM4B4uEjDffsIB_JWWkOwHDvm0H6aTMQjWhAWpvm2wDC90VWcSZdcQO1ymQDrfO9qvvw/s640/Winter+wreath+007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This God awful looking thing is my glue pot.

I swear, once you use a glue pot, you will never use a glue gun again. This is so much eaier and faster and puts more glue on a pick. You have more control, I feel. I have had this one glue pot for about 15 years now!!! Forgive the stick that is in there in this shot.

Today, I had 2 friends over for lunch and my Joe joined us too! One of the girls hadn't seen the house yet so it was a great excuse to have a luncheon!!!! I wanted to set a FUN, but relaxed table. So, I chose to use my snowman dishes, centerpiece and accessories. The table is set with a casual red and white tablecloth that is my favorite winter tablecloth. Then, of course, I used my white chargers, a red dinner plate and the snowman sald plate.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy1NdIxk3ZnYSxBViuyuiY4ME2hVza6kSjOJvfseKwty9wfpwrc3mpgo4aScBlmIHFZgto6U5sem634Sxrlz0rWQEJE1MfeRnUJ4IhEUQL7LWGJPzOS13XwLNJ38yFxCN-UU8NAEDfKvA/s1600/Snowman+table,+lunch+W+and+B+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy1NdIxk3ZnYSxBViuyuiY4ME2hVza6kSjOJvfseKwty9wfpwrc3mpgo4aScBlmIHFZgto6U5sem634Sxrlz0rWQEJE1MfeRnUJ4IhEUQL7LWGJPzOS13XwLNJ38yFxCN-UU8NAEDfKvA/s640/Snowman+table,+lunch+W+and+B+007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Aren't these little tophat accessories adorable??

It is so simple to put together. I got a rotisserie chicken from the grocery and cut it into small pieces. I mixed a can of cream of chicken soup, a can of cream of celery soup and a 1/2 cup of milk. I placed a bag of broccoli florets in the casserole dish, added the chicken, then poured the soup mixture over it all and mixed it together. Add pepper to taste. I don't add salt as the soup has salt in it. Then put shredded SHARP chedder cheese over it all and bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes.  I make this quite alot as it is EASY and tastes delicious. You can also add a cup of rice if you would like that.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchuMOqjBc9_tp4rVpF_2KohaAMNdBQeROyCslHIKBi2qlkfVzpBH5tv2HM5Km6v8pYpJfMjxjnXs8pPaXAFn_KDkyRufKO4-DJ4_L7_T69PnNzVAvQNJ5AIJk3NjVMHLPuR3x5gJ7quQ/s1600/Snowman+table,+lunch+W+and+B+029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchuMOqjBc9_tp4rVpF_2KohaAMNdBQeROyCslHIKBi2qlkfVzpBH5tv2HM5Km6v8pYpJfMjxjnXs8pPaXAFn_KDkyRufKO4-DJ4_L7_T69PnNzVAvQNJ5AIJk3NjVMHLPuR3x5gJ7quQ/s640/Snowman+table,+lunch+W+and+B+029.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Several people have asked for the dressing recipe.
