Virtual Shopping Event with SheKnows.com

Cassandra Schultz & Cintia Parsons

We are excited to partner with SheKnows.com for our first ever Virtual Shopping Event - Barefoot For The Holidays. Since we can’t gather as usual this holiday season, we’re going live to share our ideas for toasting your loved ones, sharing some food, and sending heartfelt gifts from the comfort of your own home.

Below is a recap of the featured recipes and products. We had so much fun, we are so thankful to the women of SheKnows for partnering with us and we are happy you could be there. 

Entertaining - HÔTEL Silver



We were so excited to get our favorite HÔTEL Silver Footed Bowls back in stock - just in time for holiday entertaining. We love our HÔTEL Silver pieces - they're all beautiful and they really do make any occasion feel special. So, we took a page from Ina Garten's book (Cook Like A Pro) and brightened up our holiday tables with some silver sparkle! We hope this post sparks some inspiration for your own holiday entertaining. 

Holiday Cocktails

We’re heading into prime party season and who doesn’t love to celebrate with a holiday cocktail (or mocktail)!! We prepared and tested a few festive drinks that are sure to add a little flair to your holiday gatherings - Ina Garten’s Raspberry Royale and Limoncello Vodka Collins, and a very special Christmas Cranberry Julep. Cheers!

Holiday Cookie Baking

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…cookie baking time! I love baking for the holidays, it just gets me in the giving spirit. This year I invited a few friends (including my baking hero George Waldron) to come over and decorate cookies. We snacked on some appetizers from Ina Garten’s new cookbook and learned some simple, easy tips to decorate cookies like a pro! 

Cassandra's Year Of Birthday Cakes

Cassandra's Year Of Birthday Cakes

In 2017 I made a little deal with myself, I wanted to make all of my family’s birthday cakes (thanks, Ina Garten and Barefoot Contessa for the inspiration). I enjoy baking with my kids and thought that letting them help with their own cakes would create some great memories and foster their love for cooking and baking. The birthday cakes weren’t perfect works of art, but they were prepared with love - so they tasted even better!

Thank You Gifts for the Holiday Season



The holidays are upon us and it’s one my favorite times of the year. There is so much happening, but no matter how busy you may get, add saying thank you with a thoughtful gift for your host or hostess to your to-do list. We’ve put together some quick and easy thank you gift ideas so that are easy to mail or bring with you to a special party or dinner and show your appreciation and spread some holiday cheer.

In The Kitchen - Ina's Flag Cake



The famous Ina Garten Flag Cake. I would bet that if you’ve lived in America for any amount of time or even happened to visit in the summer months, you’ve seen some version of the Flag Cake. This time of year, the fruity stars and stripes are all over checkout aisle magazine covers and cooking shows. It’s so festive and fun - even Taylor Swift and her famous friends are fans of Ina’s Flag Cake.
