Saturdays At Shop This:

{ Via: Zsa Zsa Bellagio }

Hopefully you had a wonderful week. If it was difficult, the weekend is here, try to relax, it's almost over. Last weekend and half of this week was spent wedding planning. The above photo reminded me of how tired my feet were from running around Chicago in the rain. Like a bride at the end of her wedding day, it was a happy tired with many precious moments spent bonding with Ms. Shop This. Here's some links that promise to bring a little more happiness to all of us.

During our wedding planning sessions my daughter and I discussed sit down meal service verses stations or passed presentations. This MOB wants a sit down situation so that we can use a place card, wax seal and ribbons as pretty as these at La Pomme.

Foodie Friday: Kitchen Wonders For $50 And Less

{ Via: Williams Sonoma } 

Today's inspiration comes from one of my very favorite food and cooking websites Food52. They have the best items in the shop, great DIYS, and fabulous recipes. To tell you the truth, I don't feel like cooking this weekend. But I am always interested in a little kitchen counter chic or a time saving tool.  Don't worry, there is a flavor packed recipe at the end of the post. Before you get there, check out these interesting, good looking, and 
affordable products.

Loving the natural pattern of this beautiful board! Use it for everything from meat and cheese to appetizers and snacks.

West Elm 

Gold Cocktail Shaker
We have a bar room in our home, but for some reason we end up making a lot of cocktails in the kitchen. This pretty piece would create a chic cocktail anywhere.

Williams Sonoma

Ballarini ServinTavola Minis
Mimic in miniature. Cookware never looked so chic. These petite pieces give new meaning to small fry!

Doesn't your black and white (or grey)  kitchen need this set? The marble is faux but fabulous, and they are made of stoneware. Exclusive at
CB2  

Fancy Panz
To-Go Casserole Carrier (Set of 2)
Pot luck much? If you do, you need these two. "This ingenious casserole carrier is the perfect size to pop in a standard half pan, ensuring spill-free transportation." So very clever and handy!
Food52 

Courtly Check Kitchen Tools
Slotted spoon - check - stylish spatula - check kitchen timer - check. These courtly checks are counter chic!
MacKenzie-Childs 

Crushed Ice Tray 
What do you do when your crafted cocktail recipe calls for crushed ice? My built in refrigerator does not create crushed ice. Enter these fab frozen finds. They will be perfect for frozen margaritas, mint juleps, ice packs and more. Just fill, freeze, and squeeze!

Himalayan Salt with Grater

Have you tried this before? We all hear about the dangers of sodium from our doctors.  But have they told you about the benefits of Himalayan Sea Salt? Ours either. But we use it. It's delicious (because it is not processed) and hasn't raised our blood pressure at all. Read about the benefits and judge for yourself. Hands up if you think it is beautiful to look at!

Uncommon Goods

Melamine Nested Storage Bowls
This Food52 X Rosti Mepal collaboration is clever and colorful. You'll find a shade to match every counter like Black, Grey, and the pretty pastels.
Food52 

Herb Keeper
If you cook with fresh herbs (and you should), you realize that once you bring them in from the garden or market, they really don't like the refrigerator. Mine tend to wilt and dry up quickly. This terrific idea will keep your herbs fresher much longer.
Uncommon Goods  

Caribbean Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Jalapeño Pineapple Salsa
Think tropical thoughts with this fresh and flavorful recipe. Best yet, it only takes 20 minutes to prepare. This is a must make for me.
