Sharing laughs with dear friends over delicious food is the perfect way to spend a Saturday evening in my book. Once a month, we do just that with our supper club. We got to host this weekend and it was a fiesta!
Shark Week Dinner
Something to CelebrateCommentShark Week really reeled us in this year and it's made for some fun family evenings. We've learned things, been grossed out, and of course a little scared! All this excitement inspired me to put together a Shark Week dinner.
I picked up shark gummies and two varieties of Swedish Fish. Other than that, I used things we already had. I asked my kids to round up any shark toys and in just a few minutes we were swimming in sharks. Ha!
My son crafted shark fins out of paper and added them to the table.
For dinner I served one of our favorite summer meals: grilled bbq bacon shrimp and smoked gouda grits, with a chopped salad.
The candy began to disappear the minute it went on the table.
The little bit of extra effort that went into this dinner made a regular Wednesday night an extra fun occasion.
Of course now I'm already scheming to go BIG for Shark Week next year!

Welcome to a new feature, Tuesday Treats! Each week I plan to share a few things that just make me happy. I hope to spread the happiness to you and encourage everyone to look for simple pleasures each day.
Hillstone's Flying Chicken Platter
This probably qualifies as "kid food" but it's one of my favorite meals. Growing up in Dallas we loved to eat at Houston's. Denver has Hillstone (which is basically the same) but it's not super close to my house. This weekend, however, my husband and I went for lunch and I was just tickled to get to have some of my favorite chicken tenders. I love the batter... the sauces... the skinny fries... it's all too good!
Flamingo Necklace
I've decided at the ripe old age of 40 I don't need to sleep extra late, but I relish a morning when I can simply sit in bed and slowly enjoy my coffee before I get going for the day. The summer allows this just about every day and I'm in heaven! Like I said... simple pleasures.
High Heels Phone Stand
Is this not the cutest thing? I found it here. I love watching Instagram Stories or Marco Polos from my girlfriends while I get ready in the morning. This stand is perfect. Love it!
What's making you smile this week?
