I am so thankful that the ice storm that was predicted to hit Columbus never came.  We had a busy weekend with two nights of having guests for dinner.  Friday night I made my tried and true Rack of Lamb.  It’s so easy to prepare and a great entrée for a work night. Last night I tried a couple of new recipes that I will soon share on the blog.

Enjoy this week’s Worthy Reads.

1010 Park Place

I am back to my weekly writing at 1010 Park Place after a break from the holidays.  This past week I shared the green color trend for 2017 in interior design.  Click on the link to see more examples of how you can incorporate green into your decor.

Recipe of the Week

I love how colorful Paella is.  It’s a feast for the eyes before you even take the first bite.  And it’s surprisingly easy to make.  This recipe for Chicken and Paella from Jo Cooks looks delicious.

Room of the Week

Oh my – the workspace on that island, the rustic beams, the fabulous lighting.  Need I say more?  Love this kitchen found on @PotteryBarn’s Instagram account.
