nwafoodie ice cube trays Williams Sonoma

For six months now we have temporarily lived in a rental while we determined whether to build or remodel after selling our home.  The final answer was remodel and we are just days away from a home that makes my heart sing.

For these six months our poor little ol’ freezer has not had the opportunity to make ice cubes for us.  No water outlet = no ice cubes for us.

Six months ago I remedied the situation by purchasing these silicon molds at Williams-Sonoma for super-large ice cube trays.  I knew they would take care of the in-transition lull and provide an entertaining service for future bar needs.

Which made me think of you.

As you gear up and enter the busiest entertaining season of the year, I recommend you check these exclusive trays out the next time you are in Williams-Sonoma (merchandised in the bar section) or check them outonline.  They do not take up much space in your freezer and are always a conversation piece.

Let’s face it, one of the best part of entertaining is adding special touches. It is the reason why we entertain.  To make our guests feel special and relaxed.

What do you like to do to add that little extra-special something to make your own guests hearts sing?

Happy toasting!

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    I love these. Although, I do have to say that I get mine at TJ Maxx or Homegoods. Same quality, for much less $$.

    (not quite sure if this is a sponsored post or not, and I work for TJ/HG so I may be a little biased :))

      Nope, not a sponsored post! Just little ol' me, sharing!

      TJ Maxx is an AWESOME place to find deals. Best advice is to snag it when you see it because you never know if it will be there the next day. The fun of the treasure hunt, right?

      Thanks Gina!

Once a month they do a drop in my neighborhood and I always look forward to the bounty of foods and household goods. My order may be small but I love joining in with everyone else to unload the truck! You may have a drop in your neighborhood. If you’re curious, I can tell you more!

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?

Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

Turkey?⁠

Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠

The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“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
