Tableware

Fun and funky tableware doesn’t need to be expensive to add a new dimension to home dining. I love to eat from my shallow bamboo bowl that’s the perfect size for a Hot Plate () or breakfast scramble, and we use polka dotted ice cream dishes for desserts like a handful of fresh cherries or Berries with Coconut Whipped Cream (). We picked up some inexpensive rice bowls and plastic chopsticks to make eating homemade Asian food just as much fun as takeout. Find a few plates that make your food look as good as it tastes. And why not serve yourself water in a wine glass, or place a wedge of lime on the rim of your club soda? You probably remember those small extras for guests; treat yourself like a guest, too.
