Go White With The Tasting Party

These days I find myself obsessed with all white dishes - they go with everything. Sure I see beautiful printed and patterned dishes I would like, but I resist buying them. White goes with everything. I bought plain white china when I got married and 22 years later I am still using them - always perfect with any table theme.

So, of course, I am loving these individual WHITE serving dishes from Pier 1. They offer fabulous style to go along with a new trend - The Tasting Party. Visit the Pier 1 website to get plenty of ideas - they even have recipes depending on your type of event. Definitely worth taking a look!

A few Tasting Party Tips from the Pier 1 website.

*Mini Cordials, Mini Wine Glasses or Mini Shot Glasses double as dessert dishes
*Think traffic flow: clear the path around your table
*Create a drink station on a sideboard or tray table
*Store-bought? Take-out? Totally OK (and encouraged)
*Add holiday color with garnishes like candy canes
*Use cards or gift tags to label dishes and drinks
*Re-think traditional dishes: maybe pumpkin bread trifle instead of pie
