Apple’s new Siri can now read your texts, find your grandmother’s recipe in an old email, and write your grocery list - all completely for you.

But what do you lose by outsourcing those tasks? You lose the phone call to ask grandma how she really makes it. You lose seeing her handwriting on that recipe card. You lost the slow moment to write a grocery list on a pretty notepad. You lose the chance to make the invitation really special by sending it by mail.

Those were never the chores. Those were the whole point.

Let’s let AI have the spreadsheets, but not the party planning.

What are your thoughts on this? We’d love to know what you think!

The two cookbooks you have to try for you next dinner party! āœØšŸ“šŸ“–

These are my two favorite cookbooks that I actually reach for whenever we’re hosting a summer dinner party. They’re splattered with sauce and have all kinds of post-its and notes throughout them because I use them so often.

Sharing my favorite summer menus found within these two cookbooks - I hope these inspire you to host before summer ends!

šŸ“• The Art of the Host by Alex Hitz - this is my go to when I really want to impress. Everything I’ve made from this book has been exceptional!

šŸ“™ Deep Run Roots by Vivian Howard. This book has hundreds of recipes & is perfect for when you want to cook with seasonal produce. It’s one of my most used cookbooks of all time.

Hoping these two books inspire you to host before summer summer ends! šŸ’š

Unpopular opinion - the molded salad should make a comeback šŸ’šŸ°

Y’all had THOUGHTS when we shared the molded salad is a vintage staple that we think should make a comeback.

We’re talking about the sweet, shimmering, sweet mold with fruit pieces suspended inside it like jewels ✨ Just hear us out, we think we can make a case for it! It’s beautiful, it’s an easy make-ahead recipe, and it’s a trip down memory lane that will have your whole table talking.

We’re curious though- where do you stand? Would you bring this back or should this vintage staple stay in the past?

A few vintage hosting staples we’d love to see make a comeback! ✨

There’s warmth in the way we used to gather way back when. Unhurried, always charming, and entirely about the company. We think all of these vintage hosting staples have stood the test of time beautifully & deserve to make a comeback.

From the ā€œdrop inā€ visit back when an unexpected knock at the door was met with a slice of cake and a cup of coffee, to the molded salad wobbling proudly in all its glory - some things are worth reviving!

Which one do you think we should bring back?

Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for showing us all how it’s done. šŸ’›

Your hosting style by zodiac sign ✨

Every host has a signature style. Some text ā€œcome over in an hour somehow pull off a whole party (unmistakably Aries), some can turn a Tuesday night dinner into a candlelit enchantment (only a Pisces!), and some go so over the top you feel like you’re walking the red carpet (of course that’s you, Leo!)
