Restaurant

Update - Cupcakes and Cocktails! That's what I would call it! Desserts would be served in fancy cocktail glasses and it would have a full bar, including an extensive wine selection. 

Oh to dream... 

This page is a collection of photos, ideas and recipes that encompass the dream of owning my own restaurant. Sigh... someday. Keep in mind... these are ROUGH ideas. Obviously if I ever had the opportunity they would be much more polished and fabulous.

Picture this - upscale classy, low lit, blues, greens, patina finishes, medium spaced, dark woods (cabinets and floors), high topped tables and low topped booths, marble countered bar with fabulous lighting, waiting area with plush arm chairs and maybe a couch...

Color theme - this is actually from Kohls

 Color Theme - Design-Seeds.com

Fabulous Setup - love the chairs and the lighting (design from HGTV)

These would be super funky on the wall side of booths. Find this design here.

FLOORS!

Foods/Cocktails - I would do appetizers, desserts, martinis/wine. Sort of like a tapas bar, but without the spanish influence.  

Here's a sample of a menu - I will be posting recipes of the ideas I've picked up on from websites like Pinterest (and yes, you can follow me there there). 

 Appetizer Ideas (the short list)
- Antipasti kababs
- Sweet potato and avocado sliders (recipe coming)
- Avocado fries with chipotle dipping sauce
- Cheese, Onion and Bread Souffle (Find Recipe Here)
- Lasagna Cupcakes (still creating)
- Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Bruschetta (Find Recipe Here)

Dessert Ideas (the short list)
- Chocolate Creme Brulee
- Eclairs (in assorted flavors)
- Chocolate Cherries (I'm thinking maraschino cherries in the middle of a soft, chewy brownie or cake, dipped in chocolate)
- Coconut Banana Fritters
- Cookie Dough or Cake Batter Dip (variation of originals coming soon)
- Assorted Fruit Dips (like a fruit plate with an orange cream dip, cream cheese, and chocolate)
