Setting The Table With World Market: Part 3

Over the past two weeks, you’ve seen how we’ve teamed up with World Market to share casual dining inspiration for down-to-earth entertaining any day of the week.  We created a cool California, wine country inspired table and a rustic table perfect for an everyday Italian meal.  So with dinner covered, it only natural to move on to my favorite day and my favorite meal; Sunday.  And on Sundays we brunch.  

I don’t know about you, but in the Rye household, weekends (when we’re actually home) are the time to enjoy sleeping in, indulge in the comfort food we missed during the week, and just relax!  It’s a far cry from the weekday hustle-and-bustle when we’re looking for keys, flying out of the door, and grabbing coffee to go.

When setting the table, World Market’s beautiful and colorful earthenware plates seemed as if they were made for an easy weekend brunch.  The plates‘ designs are complimented by florals I pulled from around the home; sweet orange ranunculus in bud vases and deep purple artichokes and eucalyptus.  In keeping with our theme of casual entertaining  eggs, toast, pastries, and my infamous cheesy hashbrown casserole are served table side making them easily accessible for second and third servings.

The casserole.  Where do I begin?  The ooey-gooey goodness is reason enough to get out of bed in the morning; with a generous helping of sharp cheddar cheese, green peppers, onions, shredded potatoes (you can use organic frozen potatoes like I did), and jalepenos of course, you have one heck of a breakfast casserole. And remember, a casserole can be made the night before, so consider this your excuse to stay in bed a little longer!

Lastly, french press coffee will be a must, and as many of you know, I run on coffee so this is very important to keep my cup filled.  I also like to offer fruit juice on the table for an extra sip, so having a refreshing, unique flavor on hand like mango or guava is an easy, yet special touch.  Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

P.S. I’ll be sharing my cheesy hashbrown casserole recipe later this week and we’ve got one more week of casual dining inspo coming your way; tune in next week for the daintiest, French Provincial inspired table of sweet treats for the girls. xo
