WEEKEND FAVORITES | Outdoor Season
Memorial Day, 4th of July, and outdoor celebrations are all around the corner! Is your summer filling up as fast as ours?
Our family started off this busy summer season with a weekend away in Carlsbad, where we gathered together to celebrate one of our little people's 7th birthday. Most. Fun. Ever!
Time with family and friends in the summer here at FrenchGardenHouse means barbecues, our annual Jeu de Boules Tournament, and fun spur-of-the-moment gatherings. It's the nature of this season!
Here are some of our favorite posts to help you create a relaxed, beautiful summer with those you love gathered at home to celebrate all summer has to offer.
Blue and White Dishes| Bon Appetit Napkins
This is one of your very favorite summer posts from FrenchGardenHouse. A casual "stop-by-for-dinner" kind of table, with a delicious, easy meal featuring Gremolata, a flavor packed topping for vegetables, pasta, or protein off the grill.
This gremolata recipe combines buttery toasted pine nuts, tangy capers, sweet bell pepper, basil, lemon zest, and parsley together, and is light, fresh, and clean!
Summer is a wonderful time to Host an informal wine tasting evening. It's a fun chance to get together with your friends and drink a few great wines, add some delicious appetizers, and call it fun. I'll show you how to host a wine tasting party at home for family and friends, just click on the link.
Add a selection of authentic French antiques to set the scene. PERFECT.
