I love adding new pieces to my kitchen. Whether it’s a new tool or a new set of Fiesta or a new appliance… I love it!
I actually find myself having to tiptoe through Target… not looking at anything that is not specifically on my list, or else I end up with new things at home that were not planned for. Exhibit A: These cute, cute serving bowls shaped like veggies from Threshold I spotted at Target. So stinkin’ cute!
Can you even imagine how adorable that purple onion would be with dip in it on a buffet table? Well… I soon may find out since it crept home with me. 🙂
I also have dear, dear friends who spoil me with kitchen items, including this beautiful baking dish from Anthropologie. Isn’t it gorgeous? My friend Steffanie sent it to me for Christmas… and while it screams brownies, I’ve been using it to bake yummy casseroles.
Ever since I made the Easy Bubble-Up Enchilada Casserole, I wanted to try an Italian version. And, because this recipe is so simple, I had everything I needed in the fridge. Look how delicious it baked up!
