Serendipity-Style Prosciutto Sandwich
I love open-faced sandwiches. Less bread, more filling! This looks terribly swanky but takes five minutes. This sandwich has a delicious homemade Russian dressing, prosciutto, and brie. That’s it! It’s been over a decade since I had lunch at Serendipity 3 in New York City and I still haven’t stopped thinking about that sandwich. It…

Photos by Darling Photography I made these for my recent summer picnic and could not stop eating them. This is what…

We played croquet, drank wine and champagne, and enjoyed each other’s company. For the table, I chose a simple white tablecloth. Since I had an umbrella in…
