so, what's for dinner next week?

M . turkey bolognese

the recipe sheets weren't working out very well, so now i have made individual recipe cards.  you can print them out one at a time or copy, paste and arrange them onto a document together.

let me know if you have trouble!

now for some table top inspiration

{as seen at my friends wedding}

a bow tie napkin

lay your cloth napkin out flat.

{we use ours almost everyday and as you can see, i don't worry about ironing!}

fold it in half.

and again.

then two thirds of the way over.

  

and again.  then grab a piece of string, fabric, ribbon or the like.

use it to cinch the middle.

tie a bow {or partial bow} so it's easy for little eaters to untie.

and wallah!  a bow fit for a fancy dinner or mac & cheese.

a great project to keep your children busy while you make dinner.

or let them loose with small pieces of paper and coloring utensil and ask them to create 

name tags.

fun + simple.

happy eating!

and friday.

and weekend.
