Her Q’s: Dinner guests with dietary issues.

Posted by Liza on Sep 15, 2010 in Health & Beauty, Her Q's

Dear StyleBlueprint: I have a celiac friend who I would like to include in an upcoming dinner party, but I'm really nervous about preparing the meal. I guess I really don't understand what celiac is, but I keep hearing the term pop up. Can you help me out? -Jennifer, Belmont Jennifer- I think this is a great question because the general rules that apply here can apply to any guest with a special diet. As limited dietary choices are a dilemma that many find themselves with, knowing how to include such guests at a dinner party is simply knowledge that everyone must have.

Dear StyleBlueprint, My husband and I have been invited to join friends at their mountain cabin over Labor Day weekend. I am so appreciative of the invitation and want to bring a nice hostess gift and some goodies for the group. Since we will be hiking all day, I want to be able to quickly reheat or even microwave it. Do you have a good recipe that uses fresh ingredients? I love soups! Thanks so much. Becky, Belmont neighborhood

Her Q’s: non-fussy Perfumes

Posted by Liza on Aug 18, 2010 in Health & Beauty, Her Q's

Dear StyleBlueprint: I have always stayed far away from perfumes, but lately I've found myself on a quest to find the perfect one. For me this means one that is not too flowery and, simply stated, not too "perfume-y". I hate that overwhelming perfume smell that follows some women around, but I have noticed that a nice pure scent is actually very appealing. Could you help me find a starting point as my trip to the department stores had me leaving empty handed. Thanks! Joy, Nashville

Dear StyleBlueprint, I have a pesto recipe that I am not too happy with. While I’m overflowing with basil this time of year, I’m not overflowing with love for my pesto. I’d love some ideas for revamping my recipe. Thanks! Anne, East Nashville. … Anne, I love pesto and can eat it straight on a cracker. I try to always have fresh pesto on hand, and I NEVER buy store...

I’m not a mom, so school supplies are not an area of interest to me. Thanks, - Betsy, Nashville Betsy, I love that you asked if this weekend was really...

Posted by Elizabeth on Jul 21, 2010 in Happenings, Her Q's

Dear StyleBlueprint, My Mom, sister and three nieces are coming to visit in a couple of weeks and I have no idea what would be fun for them to do.
