looking forward to the weekend


my inspiration for the weekend...




How about a beautiful blue and white
Tuscan style lunch by Carolyne Roehm...




with all my favorite antipasti,
parmesan cheese, green olives, and fresh salami?




I think we'll try a Skinnygirl Frangelini this weekend. 

Bethenny has a bunch of new Skinnygirl recipes out! 
I'm already a big fan of her margaritas,
so I'm sure this is yummy! 


ciao! fabiana

    The decoration on the table is lovely, I really like the colour.
    The skinnygirl frangelini looks lovely, I might try this at the weekend as it includes lots of ingredients I love.

    Ciao Fabiana ~

    Thanks so much for your visit to my blog and your sweet comments. It's good to have met you. I just enjoyed a Frangelini recently for my birthday and it was scrumptious...although I do not think it was a "skinny" one!

    Happy weekend to you.

    Ciao,
    Suzanne

    PS
    Don't you just love Carolyne Roehm's style? I have one of her books and love it!

    Those blue and white stripes are SOOO fabulous!

    How gutsy to do them on the table AND on the chairs.

    Gorgeous, the first time I opened up Carolyne Roehm's Blue and White book and saw this table I gasped. No one does blue and white like she does. Gorgeous,Kathysue

    I saw your first photograph and recognized it right away. It always takes my breath away. This photos from Carolyne Roehm's "Passion for Parties" is one of my all-time favorites hands down. It brings me such joy every time I look at it. The food added here just makes it that much more heavenly! I hope your weekend inspiration works out wonderfully for you!
