Simple 4th of July Tablesetting

Please share on your favorite social channel!

Some nights  Most nights, it’s all most of us can do to get dinner on the table and keep the family happy. Days are busy! Am I right or am I right?? And contrary to what you might see on Pinterest, Instagram, and even on my blog, MOST nights are simple dinners and simple tables. Heck, we often sit on the couch in front of TV. But, since I do like a pretty table, I thought I’d show you how simple it really can be. This table is also perfect for a casual 4th of July gathering! 
Simple 4th of July TablesettingAdding an additional layer, like a charger, placemat, salad, or dessert plate and simply placing a cloth napkin on top of the plates, completely transforms a table. I didn’t even place the silverware at each place setting. Instead I used an inexpensive silverware caddy that I picked up at Home Goods and placed my silverware in it. Grab what you need!

And please excuse the poor lighting, the table runner is a denim-y blue and white stripe, not the variegated blue like it looks. It was a sunny morning when I set up this table, and I obviously didn’t pull the shade to block the excess light. It’s real life folks, just like a simple table. A simple table that is perfect for a simple family dinner, or a casual evening with friends! And did you notice, that other than the silverware caddy, there is no centerpiece! Again, I’m just keeping it real. I don’t always have fresh flowers or decor spread across my table. Some days, getting dinner on the table is good enough! Simple 4th of July Tablesetting

Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!
