Simple Tip: Use Radicchio As a Serving Bowl

At the Junior Achievement's Wine Tasting and Auction, I was inspired by their servingware.

At the Junior Achievement's Wine Tasting and Auction, I was inspired by their servingware. Instead of offering guests olives and marinated cheeses in regular bowls, they were festively placed inside radicchio leaves. The bright purple leaves made the antipasto display pop with color!

This is a great idea for the eco-conscious hostess. No bowls need to be washed and the empty leaves can be placed into the compost bin. Iceberg and romaine lettuce leaves would also work well for serving salsas, olives, cheese, crackers, and more.

Off to Market: Egg Nog Bowl

One of my Christmas traditions is to make egg nog with my sister.

One of my Christmas traditions is to make egg nog with my sister. Each year, I look forward to making the frothy, potent drink with her. What I don't look forward to is trying to figure out what to serve the egg nog in. The only bowl big enough is a gigantic, ugly stainless steel mixing bowl. This year we agreed to find the perfect bowl for our delicious egg nog. Can you help us find one? It can be a punch bowl or a Christmas themed party bowl. Look for a large vessel capable of fitting about 12 cups of liquid. Bookmark the bowls in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag Egg Nog Bowl. On behalf of both my sister and myself, thanks for your assistance!
