Food & Drink

Let's face it, entertaining can get pretty pricey pretty quickly. In my years of entertaining, I've done my fair share of overspending and getting caught up in the planning moment(s) when making purchases for events. Earlier this year I was looking for a marble serving platter to complement a few pieces I already own and just wasn't willing to spend the $120 for my favorite find. I thought, "Really? there's nothing to this thing!" My mind got working and I took a trip to Home Depot just to see how much a piece of marble tile would cost me. I-WAS-SHOCKED! I found a 12"x12" tile for less than $5...so I bought two :) Then, I took my mission a step further and took a trip to Michael's. Ah, leave it to the lovely Martha Stewart to have few reasonably priced gold gilding products. For about $15 (with coupons) I purchased all the supplies I needed to make my own version of a gold trimmed serving platter. And, I have a little video to show you my process plus, all supplies are listed below. Total cost, less than $20!

Enjoy!

Spring is juuuuust days away and if you are anything like team BashBLOK, you are loving the warmer weather, pretty flowers and colorful assortment of produce at the grocery store.

Without neglecting your taste buds we are thrilled to share our top five light and easy recipes perfect for your Spring bash or...a night in.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and at BashBLOK, we know a thing or two about properly celebrating the holiday devoted to love. The cliche last minute flowers and heart shaped boxes of candy simply will not do. We think loved ones deserve even a small amount of preparedness. Fear not, our Valentine’s picks are not an ongoing list of extravagant grand gestures. Sometimes it truly is the little things that count most so get ready to knock the socks off your special someone.

There is nothing like the ‘Fall’idays. It’s that magical time of year when the surroundings turn sepia toned, riding boots come out of storage and we southerners rejoice in cooler weather. The fall just happens to be team BashBLOK’s season of choice and we have a few quick and easy go-to traditions to add a little spice to entertaining this time of year. Your guests will be so impressed with these charming touches they will be counting down the days to your next bash.

Entertaining at home can be an exhausting task and not to mention, very stressful.

It's Super Bowl time and that means one of our favorite food categories will be coming out in abundance, appetizers. And, more specifically, dips! Whether you are hosting or attending a celebration in honor of the Panthers taking on the Broncos, we have the perfect list of recipes to fill up your chip 'n dip. Let's make Super Bowl 50 a smash and go team...whoever your team may be.

With 2016 just days away we at BashBLOK can't help but be excited. It has been an extra thrilling year for us as we officially launched our event planning app, to better plan and organize your bash and our blog, to share our favorite ideas and products. We look forward to continuing to bring you the best in all things party planning. To kick off the new year, we've come up with a fool proof cocktail menu. Cheers to 2016 and may your next bash be a smash!
