Interior Inspiration: Maine Home

Even though it is still in the upper 80's here in Florida fall is right around the corner. Here is a cozy coastal Maine house to get us in the chilly weather mood.

Julianne Moore Emmys

Did anyone watch the Emmys last night? It was hard to miss Julianne Moore in her beautiful yellow Dior Couture. At first glance it looked like a long sleeve dress but we read it was a cashmere sweater tucked into a ball skirt. Definitely reminds us of our custom Trunks Beach Couture Ball skirt in the bright yellow floral!

Recipe of the Week: Orzo Salad

This is an easy, great pasta salad. The toasted, slivered almonds add a really nice crunch. Perfect as a barbecue side for those last few summer cookouts you may be squeezing in.

Ingredients

1 pound orzo
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
2 lemons, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups halved red and yellow cherry tomatoes
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh mint leaves
5 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the orzo and cook until tender yet still firm, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain into a colander and let cool.

Whisk together the Dijon, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the cooled orzo, cherry tomatoes, almonds, red onion, green onions, basil, mint, and feta. Toss together and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper, if needed. Serve.
