Easter with Red Couch Recipes

Another show we recently filmed was an Easter show with my friend Joni Larson.  She has a fabulous blog called Red Couch Recipes, and she is one of the most talented people I know.  I have begged and begged her to come on, and I'm so happy she finally conceded!  She put together a beautiful Easter tablescape,  and I showed her how to make homemade lemon curd for those white chocolate mousse and lemon curd eggs I blogged about last Easter.



I loved Joni's choice of dishes.  The blue and white polka dots were perfect for spring!


 How cute is this centerpiece with the peeps?  It was super simple to put together.




Joni made this awesome chocolate cake for the tablescape.  She used the same technique for her chocolate nest that I used to make the chocolate eggs below.  You can find the recipe for the cake on her blog.

Joni is seriously one of my favorite people.  I am so glad she finally agreed to come on the show. We definitely didn't lack for conversation, and could have went on for hours.

The recipe for homemade lemon curd that we demonstrated is one of the easiest I've ever used, and it is so yummy!  The perfect spring time flavor.


I am always glad to film Style Made Simple episodes, it is so fun to meet and learn about the guests.  I especially like it when they come on and teach me how to do something new, or share their talents with us in some way.  I hope you will all be able to watch!

Style Made Simple with Mekette Hodges

Wow! It has been for. ever. since I have posted anything!  I am glad to be back at it though.  A lot has changed around our house since I last posted.  I think the biggest change is that I now work full time for Emery Telcom, managing 2 TV channels for them.  Our local channel 10, and a tourist based channel 6.  If any of you subscribe to Emery Telcom's cable service, you get the channels.  If you have Dish Network or Direct TV, you  cannot be my friend anymore.  Just kidding....kind of.  No really, I am just kidding.  But if you live in Carbon, Emery or Grand County, you should really look into our product.  You could bundle your cable, internet and telephone, and probably save a few bucks.  The worst part about not having our cable, is that you can't watch Style Made Simple, and that my friend, would be a darn shame!

We filmed two new episodes at my house today.  The first one was "Creative Ways to Display Your Photographs".  My friend and co worker, Mekette Hodges, was my guest.  As you can see by the pictures, we had a lot of fun! 









Mekette was so funny!  I will be posting more detailed pictures and tutorials soon, so check back.
