St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef & Cabbage Sliders

February 29, 2016

A big plate of corned beef and cabbage with potatoes, carrots and other vegetables is traditionally served on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a hearty supper for a day in March that could bring “fierce weather”.

You’ll love this new twist on traditional corned beef and cabbage perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day party buffet!

St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef and Cabbage Sliders with Guinness Mustard

This recipe was inspired by the St. Patrick’s Day scene in St. Louis. The Gateway to the West is lucky enough to have two St. Patrick’s Day parades! A big downtown parade and a smaller parade in the Irish part of the city — Dogtown.

St. Patrick's Day Slow Cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage Sliders

Be sure to make plenty of these sliders because they’ll disappear in the blink of an eye like a leprechaun! The quick Guiness mustard is a tasty addition to the corned beef and cabbage sliders. Here’s the recipe:

Easter Place Card Nests

February 24, 2016

 

Easter is just three weeks away! If you’re planning an Easter brunch for family or friends now is the perfect time to collect some pretty ideas for table decorating. We found a clever craft — making place cards out of small nests for your Easter table. If you’re expecting a large crowd for your spring party Easter place card nests are especially helpful.

 

Easter Place Card Nests

 

The baskets are made of raffia, so you will need raffia and a few more items. The nests can be filled with foiled eggs, candies, or candy coated Easter eggs.

For directions on how to make Easter Place Card Nests go to the link below:

Spring Nest Easter Place Cards

For a fabulous Easter brunch buffet add eggciting treats like Happy Easter Petit Fours and Happy Easter Belgian Oreos.  One of these would look bright and cheery in an Easter Place Card Nest! Your guests will adore them!

The Perfect Father’s Day Gifts for Your Dad’s Personality

May 30, 2013
#1 Dad Snack Bowl

For as long as you can remember, your dad has been your hero. Whether you took long weekend fishing trips or went to baseball games together, what you remember most about spending time with Dad as a kid is that you wanted to grow up to be just like him. His strong, steady confidence and his passion for his hobbies were your inspiration, and they helped shape the person you are today. So this Father’s Day, which is coming up on Sunday, June 16, show your dad how much you still—and always will—look up to him. Give him a basket full of gifts that perfectly fit his personality and his interests. Here are some Father’s Day gift ideas for every kind of dad:

#1 Dad Snack BowlDad Personality #1: The Sports Fanatic

Father’s Day Gift He’ll Love: #1 Dad Snack Bowl

Your dad is the definition of a true blue fan. He loves his team, and he made you part of the family sports tradition long before you were even born! For the man who never missed a chance to share every big game with you, give him something that’ll make him feel like the MVP he really is. This bucket is filled with the most delicious game day snacks, like kettle popcorn, seasoned pub mix, caramels, peanut butter barrels, and strawberry jam shortbread. Perfect for the captain and his rookie to share while cheering from the stands!

Classic BBQ Grill Gift SetDad Personality #2: The Top Chef

Father’s Day Gift He’ll Love: Classic BBQ Grill Gift Set

No one knows how to flip a burger quite like your pops does. Rain or shine, he loves heading outside to fire up the grill and cook up a good meal for his family. And what’s not to love about hanging out with your father, enjoying some good food and great conversation over the BBQ? This Father’s Day gift makes quality grilling time even better. It’s packed with grilling tools, gourmet snacks, and Pork Barrel Original Barbecue Sauce so Dad can sear the perfect barbecue dinner … with you right by his side.

Fisherman's Favorite SnacksDad Personality #3: The Outdoorsman

Father’s Day Gift He’ll Love: Fisherman’s Favorite Snacks

Dad’s idea of a great family vacation is heading out to the lake and sitting in a boat with nothing but a couple of fishing poles … and you! He taught you everything he knows about reeling in the big fish, and those lazy summer days you spent with him are still your most cherished childhood memories. Help Dad pack up for your next big fishing trip together with this authentic fishing creel basket, filled with delicious gourmet snacks like cheese spread, mozzarella baguettes, smoked salmon and more. It’s the perfect catch for the perfect fish-loving dad.

Starbucks Break Time Gift BasketDad Personality #4: The Businessman

Father’s Day Gift He’ll Love: Starbucks Break Time Gift Basket

Your dad might have worked long hours, but he never forgot to take a break and spend time with one of his favorite people: you! He also told you plenty of fun stories at the dinner table about his job, and he even brought you to the office a few times to show you off to his co-workers! A caring and hardworking dad like him deserves to kick up his feet and enjoy a fresh hot cup of coffee. This Starbucks gift basket comes chock full of Pop’s favorite coffee, hot chocolate, tea, biscuits and more, complete with two mugs for you to enjoy break time together!

What’s your dad’s personality like, and what kind of gift basket would he love to get on Father’s Day?

5 Sweet Ways to Celebrate National Sibling Day

April 10, 2013
Cheryl's Thank You Cookie Flower Pot

Cheryl's Thank You Cookie Flower PotCelebrate the lifelong bond between brothers and sisters: April 10 is National Sibling Day! From the early childhood days when you playfully tortured each other, to the now grown-up days when you turn to one another for unconditional love and support, your siblings have always stuck right by your side. Here are some sweet, thoughtful ways to show your brother or sister how lucky you feel to call them family.

Send them a gift.

Throughout life’s most important moments, our siblings are always there for us. They listen to our worries and fears, they give us no-nonsense advice when we need it, and they always know how to make us laugh. Sending them a thank-you gift basket with a heartfelt note lets your siblings know that everything they do is not only noticed, but also much appreciated.

Call them.

Some of us are fortunate enough to live near our brothers and sisters. Others are not. The beauty of brotherhood, however, is that no number of miles can separate siblings’ hearts. Whether the last time you spoke to each other was yesterday or last year, give your siblings a call and tell them how much you love them. Even if you’re going through a rough patch and aren’t on speaking terms, today is the perfect day to make amends.

Invite them to dinner.

Just like the good old days when you used to share a dinner table, have your brothers or sisters over for a comforting home-cooked meal. Make the foods you all loved to eat while growing up, and use the one-on-one time to catch up with each other. Reminisce over happy old memories … and make new ones together too.

Help them with something.

When life sometimes gives you more than you can handle, you can count on your siblings to lend you a helping hand. For all those times they helped you move into a new apartment, fix your car, find a new job, go grocery shopping and more, now’s time to return the favor. No matter how big or small their chores are, show your siblings your gratitude by helping them tackle their to-do list.

Share old photos with them.

Siblinghood is often the longest relationship of our lives: From the cradle to the grave, our brothers and sisters never stop being our siblings. With so many years you share together, you also share a lifetime of photos that capture your most precious memories. Dig up those old pictures of you and your siblings, and look through them together. Physically watching your relationship grow over time doesn’t just give you a sense of closeness and comfort; it also solidifies your brotherly love for many years to come.

How will you celebrate your brother or sister on National Siblings Day?

St. Patrick’s Day Treats

March 1, 2012
Best of Ghirardelli® Gift Basket St Patricks Day

Welcome back gift basket readers!

So, my weather assumptions were right! I was practically snowed in my house on Friday, a very fair Sunday, and yesterday was the nicest, most Spring-like morning followed by otherworldly winds that I thought were going to make my car tumble over. Apparently I still have a while until I can enjoy a real Spring day. However, five lucky winners won’t have to wait that long to receive their Glorious Gardens gift basket! Congratulations to Cheryl Crain (February 23, 2012 at 4:28 pm), Pamela Hansen (February 23, 2012 at 11:34 pm), Patricia Sauber (February 23, 2012 at 11:36 pm), Paul H. (February 23, 2012 at 9:24 pm), and Melissa (February 27, 2012 at 7:18 am)! Email your information to amariscal@1800flowers.com and I can send out your spring gift baskets!

St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries

St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries $24.99; Product Code:94603

Here we are with another blog post in which I try to talk about upcoming holidays (this week St. Patrick’s Day!), but then completely forget about them and turn to talking about the holiday foods I enjoy more! The only thing I know about St. Patrick’s Day other than it’s the one day for me to get perfectly cooked corn beef and that Chicago dyes the river green, is that I really know nothing about St. Patrick’s Day. Mostly I just enjoy the St. Patrick’s Day festivities and make use of my green wardrobe to avoid being pinched. I read somewhere that in Ireland people wore bunches of shamrocks for tradition and that St. Patrick’s Day was really just a small holiday in Ireland until Irish-American’s decided to celebrate it more widespread after the 1970’s. Well, there was our serving of facts. Now on to the fun stuff!

The Popcorn Factory Shamrock Popcorn Tin

The Popcorn Factory Shamrock Popcorn Tin $24.99; Product Code:94610

Personally, I enjoy at home parties a lot more than going out for festivities (especially St. Patrick’s Day). Although we can’t supply the beverages, we have a lot of great St. Patrick’s Day treats to bring a little charm to your party. Our real chocolate dipped strawberries are already fantastic and delicious, but sometimes holiday themed treats just taste better (probably some psychological thing). Decorated perfectly for St. Patrick’s Day, these chocolate covered strawberries will definitely be a hit with everyone; only the truly lucky will be able to get more than one before they’re all gone! A fun snack that goes great with any and all St. Patrick’s Day “beverages” served is The Popcorn Factory’s Shamrock Green St. Patrick’s Day themed buttered popcorn. Light and fluffy, but packed full with flavor, this popcorn makes the perfect party snack.  Maybe add some green frosted cupcakes or green rice krispy treats to add to the fun. Our sister brand Celebrations is the party expert when it comes to holidays, so be sure to stop by their page here and see how you can make your St. Patrick’s Day one to remember!

Best of Ghirardelli® Gift Basket St Patricks Day

Best of Ghirardelli® Gift Basket $29.99; Product Code:96921

St. Patrick’s Day seems like a great gifting opportunity as well, if you’re looking to send a little luck to good friend or family member. The reason four-leaf clovers are lucky is because the fourth leaf stands for luck. I’m sure that anyone would enjoy receiving a gift wishing them luck with all their day to day goings-on. Our Best of Ghirardelli Gift Basket is a truly tasteful gift, bound to brighten someone’s day. Filled with delicious Ghirardelli chocolates and treats, your loved ones will definitely feel lucky to have someone as sweet as you in their lives that would send them this wonderful gift.

In the comments section (1-2 paragraphs) tell me what fun or delicious St. Patrick’s Day treats you can come up with! FIVE lucky and random winners will win the Ghirardelli Gift Basket.

Good luck!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...I couldn't not post this...

We’re mere DAYS away from Christmas and I’m still not done with all of my shopping! I don’t know about all of you, but I feel like the week before Christmas just keeps getting busier and busier every year. I will be happy for the weekend to start so I can just relax, sleep in past noon guilt free, and hope that all of the presents I bought will be magically wrapped when I open my eyes! Of course until then, I will be flying through the local shops and retail stores like a mad woman and scouring the local resale shops for an ugly sweater to wear for an ugly sweater Christmas party.

I hope everyone has a happy, safe and wonderful Holiday weekend! Thank you so much for reading and commenting each week! I’ll leave a little present below in the form of my favorite (somewhat) Christmas song 😉

Merry Christmas!

Tis the Season!

December 1, 2011
Regal Drum Christmas Gift Tower Harry London Chocolates

Welcome Back!

Did everyone survive Black Friday and Cyber Monday? I need my readers safe and in tact! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday and ate until you couldn’t tell the difference between any of the foods you were eating anymore (that may have just been me). It’s December 1st, so now I can finally talk about the Holidays without a twinge of guilt for infringing on any other holiday’s placement!

Festive Red Holiday Sleigh Gift Basket

Festive Red Holiday Sleigh Gift Basket $59.99; Product Code:96633

I know I say I love every holiday already, but guys, I really love the Christmas and the Holiday season. I love Christmas songs, especially if they’re sung by horribly dressed band boys of the 90s or Mariah Carey. I love Christmas shopping and trying to find the perfect gift. I love Christmas parties with cookies or cake. I love the new Christmas menu at Starbucks. I love having a valid excuse to drink copious amounts of hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. I’ll probably be answering my phone as “Buddy the Elf, what’s your favorite color?” and then watching every Christmas special on TV. I’ll definitely end up watching the full marathon of A Christmas Story on TBS, after I’ve sat through an almost annoying amount of viewings for Home Alone 1 & 2, Charlie Brown, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Muppet’s Christmas Carol, Gremlins, Love Actually, Babes in Toyland (most likely the horrendously hilarious remake with Keanu Reeves), a good classic like It’s A Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street, am I leaving anything else out? (Scrooged was already on this week, so that’s only one movie out of a million left for me…) Oh! And sledding, ice skating, volunteering, and donations! Just finishing my mental check list for this month 

Of course, I have to prioritize, so insane list of Christmas activities will have to wait for a second. This first week is all about Christmas decorations for me. I’ll be getting out the snowman cookie jar, red table mats, my sad little table sized Peanut’s Christmas tree, an unnecessary amount of lights, and of course I’m sure I’ll be finding tinsel on me for the next 3 weeks. Our Holiday gifts section will probably come into play at my house, seeing as our gift baskets are both food and cute holiday decorations all rolled into one (bow tied) package!

Regal Drum Christmas Gift Tower Harry London Chocolates

Regal Drum Gift Tower $39.99; Product Code:94801

I know my mom is going to like the Regal Drum Gift Tower, filled with Harry London® chocolate treats inside. An 1800Baskets.com Exclusive, this charming and festive gift set is perfect for quick decoration with yummy gifts inside, like milk chocolate covered pretzels, mint chocolates, chocolate covered grahams, and more! We also have the beautiful Festive Red Holiday Sleigh Gift Basket, a holiday must-have of chocolates, pretzels, snacks, and sweets all delivered in a solid sleigh basket!

I have a few hours of shopping in Target and Pier 1 ahead of me, so in the comments section (1-2 paragraphs) tell me some of your Holiday decorations or things you’re excited for! You can even quote your favorite holiday movies to me and I’ll be happy! FIVE lucky winners will receive the Regal Drum Gift Tower!

Happy Holidays!

Sweet Treats Mug & Cocoa Gift Basket

Sweet Treats Mug & Cocoa Gift Basket $34.99; Product Code:94880

Now I know I’ve been on and on about not forgetting Thanksgiving (which I haven’t!) and I said I wasn’t even going to think about Christmas until December hits, but I’ve got a blog to write and I’m trying to not think about food too much before Thanksgiving so I can prepare myself for an early turkey-induced coma. So what I’m about to write about might be a big “huh?” But I do want to share some of our really great Holiday gift baskets with you all! (Plus, who could say no to the holidays? Sorry Thanksgiving, you’re cool and all, but I like listening to “All I Want for Christmas Is You” on repeat too many times).

On with the show! First up we have a 1800Baskets.com exclusive Holiday gift, the Sweet Treats Mug & Cocoa Gift Basket. Outside is getting alarmingly too crisp for me and I’ve already picked out a nice comfy pair of slippers to wear while I’m preparing myself a yummy mug of hot cocoa! In the Sweet Treats gift basket you’ll receive two solid, red ceramic mugs perfect for the holiday season, chocolate truffle cocoa, mini marshmallows (the kid in me is screaming with joy!), Fannie May® Dark Chocolate Squares, cookies, and more! Such a cute gift for a Secret Santa, office coworker, family member, friend, or (like I’ll be doing) a nice treat for yourself! Highly recommend this cold day companion since winter is coming (who do I think I am? Game of Thrones? I miss that show…)

Santa's Holiday Delivery Truck Gift Basket

Santa's Holiday Delivery Truck Gift Basket $79.99; Product Code:94842

If you’re in need of a cute holiday gift that could also double as adorable decorations, this next one is the perfect gift (and it comes with a video!) The Santa’s Holiday Delivery Truck Gift Basket is overflowing with tons of great snacks and dessert treats for everyone to enjoy and boasts a super cute container as well. Don’t take my word for it (though you really should by now), watch our video we made for it!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations and be safe, eat lots of food, have fun with your families and friends! And in the comments section (1-2 paragraphs) let me know what you’re most excited for this Holiday season! I’ll choose FIVE winners on Wednesday November 23 to win our Sweet Treats Mug & Cocoa Gift Basket!
