Now that I have my own place, I’m really anxious to start using my hostess skills. Growing up, my house was always busy. My parents were (and still are) always inviting people over for dinners, birthday parties, weekend barbecues. The Greens know how to throw a good party. And living in a 700something square foot studio apartment isn’t going to stop me from being a fabulous hostess! All I need is a spacious and fully equipped kitchen (check!), a fully-stocked bar cart (coming soon!) and friends and family who don’t mind getting a little cozy.
Over the past few months I’ve been bookmarking recipes and collecting images on pinterest and tumblr for the day that I could invite people over to my new place and I just had to share them with you. My little studio is going to be the place to be this summer!

Fresh flowers are a must. Even just one or two can instantly add glamour to a room.

Individual recipes served in pretty plastic: easy to serve, even easier to clean and they look super impressive.
