Things I Love Thursday: Art From My Table

If you are looking for 4th of July Family Fun ideas, be sure to check out my recent post here!



As I mentioned earlier this week, I will never be known for my fabulous cooking skills (recap here). However, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading and collecting recipes or visiting cooking blogs.

In fact, my all-time favorite cooking blog is Art From My Table. I love it!

Chellie, the chef extraordinaire and blog author of Art From My Table, is passionate about cooking, intentional about serving fresh and whole foods to her family, and does an amazing job of posting creative, healthy, mouth-watering dishes.

When I saw her recipe for Black Bean and Corn Salsa, my mouth began to dance!! Yum!



Jokingly I invited myself to be her official taste tester (believe me, I know salsa!) ~ and Chellie, being the awesome friend and woman that she is, offered to come to my home and prepare it for me and my family. In fact, she offered to prepare a whole meal. WOO HOO!!

The menu I selected: Enchilads verde, the black bean and corn salsa, and then Chellie surprised us with Blueberry Crumble for dessert. What a blessing to have Chellie hard at work in my kitchen, while I was hard at work in my office. I loved hearing the chop, chop, chop from my desk. I think I need a personal chef every day!! :)

Before she left, Chellie taught me how to cut an avocado. Can you believe it? I'm 40 years old and never knew. But no longer! Look at what a serious avocado student I am!


To enjoy the recipes and a photo recap of Chellie's adventure yesterday, head on over to Art From My Table here. Please be sure to introduce yourself to Chellie and let her know you came from *She Sparkles*. I know she'd be glad to meet you!!!

For more Things I Love Thursday ideas, hop on over to my real-life neighbor Jill at The Diaper Diaries. (She's also hosting a fabulous giveaway ~ be sure to check it out!)

Thanks for stopping by *She Sparkles* !! Have an amazing, joy-filled 4th of July!

Oh that looks yummy! Hey, I've got you beaten on the avocado. I am 42 and just purchased my first avocado. I don't even like them but needed to have one for a Pampered Chef show at my house. I still don't know how to cut one. :o)
