May Showers: Show and Tell

‘Tis the season for showers: bridal and baby—love must be in the air. (Or at least it was eight and nine months ago….)
Just in time, Maeve’s favorite shower recipe for oh-so-lovable Herb Tomato Cheese Bread comes to the rescue. Download the Your Heart Out recipe card here. Combine it with the summer salad we recently shared, and you’ve got half your menu already done. Nice.

2 c. Bisquick mix
3 med. tomatoes, cut into slices

{Now it’s your turn:} As you well know, a lot of time and effort goes into shower-throwing. Some of our favorite details include fresh flower arrangements—even/especially when freshly and casually cut from a spring garden—white linens, and little glass plates (Ali picked up 20 for a dollar apiece in the dollar aisle at her local Target).
Maeve recently attended a baby shower where the itsy bitsy outfits were strung on a clothesline across the room. Cute. We think it’s high time for some shower show-and-tell. Show us some photos of your most recent shower (thrown by, hosted by or attended by you) and we’ll post some of our favorite ideas as inspirations—it could be a photo that best displays your theme, your banner, your dessert, your tablespread. Tell us a little about the idea behind the photos, too.
There just might be a little prize for the detail we’re most fond of (hint, hint). Send entries to hello@yourheartout.com.

Oooh Maeve, this sounds delightful indeed. I’m trying to think of my very best shower idea. Give me a few hours, and I’m sure I’ll have a splendid entry dreamt up by this afternoon.

This sounds great! But what is Bisquick? Don’t think we have that here. Could I use something else instead?

Yum – I am not doing a baby shower, but I am having a wine tasting party this weekend. Perhaps I will try this quick and easy recipe. Where does Sarah live that she has never heard of Bisquick. Bisquick should be considered it”s own food group. Ask Brad about Easy Italian Casserole.
