Looking for fall inspiration for your kitchen decor?

fall catalogue inspiration - main (c)nwafoodie

Hello friends! It so great to see you again!

I’ve been out of town the past few weeks with family and loved ones… and I also have a new baby nephew! That means there is one more little munchkin to love on. Isn’t it THE BEST thing being an auntie (or an uncle)?

Another BEST thing about vacations are coming home to a load of mail. No, I promise I am not being sarcastic… I really DO look forward to going through the pile. Every once in a while a handwritten note even makes their way in (like the good old days). And, speaking of the good old days, my favorite part is to go through the catalogues. Yep, forget Pinterest and Instagram for a second, sometimes it is fun to get your fingers flipping through an actual paper catalogue.

This time I had three fall catalogues waiting: Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Rejuvenation.

Because I am nothing but hospitable and want you to be fully informed with the best inspirations for hospitality, here are my recommendations from each catalogue.

Crate & Barrel

This “thankful” trivet is awesome. What a gentle reminder to be thankful every time a serving platter is placed upon it. For $19.95, I can swing this.

Crate & Barrel

This tablecloth is festive. In fact, it pretty much would take the place of any decorations, don’t you think? $89.95 for a rectangular 54”x120”.

Williams Sonoma

This acorn and leaf dish is pretty. While I think just one would be a perfect little appetizer plate, they are only available in sets of four. At $14.95 each, these would make fabulous hostess gifts.

Pottery Barn

Doesn’t this vintage wood bread bowl add such warmth? For $49.50 it can be a bread bowl one day and used for decorations on the coffee table the next.

Rejuvenation

These kitchen stools… just look at the quality of these saddle counter stools. Doesn’t it just scream, “Hey, pull up a chair. Enjoy some bread from this vintage wooden bread bowl. I just pulled it out of the oven and it rested on this awesome “thankful” trivet. Here, put a slice on this acorn plate. Oh, you like it? I will give you one of my extra plates.”

What is YOUR favorite catalogue or magazine you browse and wish through?

Happy hospitality.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    I LOVE catalogs. This just reminded me that I have fallen off a few lists. Crate & Barrel is my fave.

      Kindred souls, Gina K! All of these are my favs…. recently in love with Rejuvenation. Hard to believe they’ve been around since 1953. They’re so fresh!

Slowing down to savor food and life. And above all, have a good time.

ad Brrrrrr. Okay, quick question… what do you ea ad Brrrrrr. Okay, quick question… what do you eat when it’s freezing outside and all you want to do is to stay in your jammies and watch TV? ⁠
⁠
And now ask yourself… what do you reallllly want to eat that is quick to make, delicious, and suuuuuuuper easy to prepare?⁠
⁠
Ding! Ding! Ding! The correct answer is chili!⁠
⁠
This is not just any ol’ ordinary chili – this is @puretexanchili Championship Chili. This is chili that has won not one, not two, not ten… ya’ll seriously, this chili has WON EIGHTEEN STATE CHILI CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! ⁠
⁠
This is the quick, delicious, and super easy kind of chili that everybody wants on a freezing cold day when all you want to do is stay in your jammies and watch TV!⁠
⁠
The Big Game Day is less than two weeks away - plenty of time to order this chili mix (by February 1st).⁠
⁠
Link product in bio.⁠
Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠
⁠
This isn’t any ordinary candied pecan recipe – it’s extraordinary! We’re adding spices. ⁠
⁠
Not just any ordinary spice – we’re adding @puretexanchili mix.⁠
⁠
That’s right, chili mix!⁠
⁠
Link in bio for the recipe!⁠
⁠
Enjoy!

ad. Probably the most stressful thing about chili ad. Probably the most stressful thing about chili is wondering if all the time and energy you spent on those spices and ingredients… will actually turn out.⁠
⁠
The last thing you want after all that effort is a wasted pot of chili. Ugh! ⁠
⁠
Think about all the times that you’ve been to someone’s home, watching the game, lounging around, playing cards, or binge-watching Netflix. ⁠
⁠
Was chili involved? ⁠
⁠
If it wasn’t, it should’ve been! Chili is fun food!⁠
⁠
Have you heard of @puretexanchili?⁠
⁠
At the urging of friends, Alan and Susan Dean decided to make their award-winning championship chili available to everyone by packaging and selling their Pure Texan Chili spice blend! ⁠
⁠
They sell their Pure Texan Chili packets online (and on amazon) and what I particularly love about them is that they don’t get fancy with tons of product line extensions.⁠
⁠
Alan and Susan stick with their chili mix because their mix is a winner.⁠
⁠
Because they keep it simple… we can keep it simple.⁠
⁠
You’ll find tons of recipes created by Alan on their website. Since it’s fall and the cool weather is here to stay for a while, I decided to check out their Veggie Chili recipe.⁠
⁠
The ingredients for this veggie chili recipe are simple and healthy. We’re talking sweet potatoes, cauliflower, squash, black beans, tomato sauce, water, and yep, you guessed it! One packet of Pure Texan Chili mix. ⁠
⁠
Deeeeeelish!⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
