Three Stylish Delights For the Weekend: A Holiday Centerpiece, Hostess Gift and Recipe
Tina, here.
This weekend will surely be packed full of parties and people, and so you'll be needing, along with your stylish holiday outfits, a few of my favorite ways to add sparkle and cheer to the festivities.
Here, dolls, are Three (Easy) Stylish Delights For the Weekend: A Holiday Centerpiece, Hostess Gift and Recipe.
1. A Stylish And Quick Centerpiece
Grab a silver compote or pretty crystal or glass bowl. Now dump some cinnamon sticks, anise, cloves and vanilla pods into it. Voila. You're Martha Stewart. And your home smells like it, too. Genius idea found here.
2. An Easy, Stylish Hostess Gift
Get ya some paperwhite bulbs at Home Depot or your grocery store. Plant them in pretty vases or glass jars, and tie on some good quality satin or organza or taffeta ribbon. Hostess gift, winning. (I found the prettiest little glass vases Style Vault members can shop in the Holiday Gift Guide. They start at $10!)
3. A Stylish And Fast Recipe
Chocolate Dipped Nuts. Recipe found here.
3 Ingredients:
3 cups raw, unsalted nuts (like almonds, pecan halves, or walnut halves)
4 ounces dark chocolate, at least 60% cacao, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
In a small saucepan combine chopped chocolate and cream over low heat. Stir constantly until mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
Dip nuts halfway into melted chocolate mixture then place on parchment covered baking sheet. When all of the nuts have been dipped, refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes or until chocolate is set.
Eat immediately or store in the fridge or freezer.
