A Well Crafted Party

It’s always a fun time when I get to share my tips on KATU’s Afternoon Live! But, this particular day was extra special because I got to share the episode with two of my favorites— Marlynn from Urban Bliss Life and Teagan from The Enloe Group. It was like a mini-reunion backstage!  As usual, I packed a bunch of ideas into a tiny segment, so I talked FAST! But, all of the recipes are available on my blog (linked below). And, it is worth watching if even for the cool chip bag hack!

On the spot I share how to create your own chip serving containers out of chip bags, run through assembling two “salad” chip dips, and assemble a tasty pitcher drink perfect for your summer BBQs.

Watch Tegan’s Segment on Afternoon Live for Tips for Selling Your Home!

Tegan is the best at what she does! And, I know… because she and her husband are also the ones who helped me buy my home! (I am a bit biased, understandably!) She is one of the most creative and fun people you’ll ever meet with the most genuine heart. You can see it in all that she does, from her work with The Enloe Group, to her Instagram @TeganEnloe, to her American Dream TV Spots.

Are you as happy as I am about Spring? Cause, despite my allergies, I’m so very happy. The produce and flavors of Spring are very much a part of what aid my happy feelings about the season. This month for my segment on Afternoon Live I shared some fast, festive, and very Spring-inspired appetizers perfect for your Easter brunch or Mother’s Day celebrations. These appetizers pair perfectly with a beautiful asparagus and chevre quiche or a holiday ham.
