Time to Tailgate: Delicious Dishes!

Hi bloggers and friends!  We are trying something new starting this week!  At HH Design house, we are "theme-ing"  each week in our blog, on Facebook, and twitter as well as showing you all the fabulous products and designs we offer!  This week's theme is "Time to Tailgate".  It's week three of college football and the NFL. We are so excited to give you ideas, recipes, and products to help you throw the ultimate--personalized-- tailgate party!  
GO TEAM!!!

Food (and team spirit) are the main ingredients to any successful tailgate or watch party. We love our food as much as we love our favorite team.  We have to cook from our favorite cookbook, "Culinary Classics from Beachside to Boardwalk" and our favorite recipe is the delicious crab dip.  It is a staple at any party or special occasion at the Hardcastle home. Here is how to make it!

Hot Jalapeno Crab Dip

1 lb lump crab meat or imitation crab meat, shells removed
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeno chiles
4 oz. pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/ cup mayonnaise or reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 oz. Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese, grated

Combine the crab meat, garlic, jalapeno chiles, Pepper Jack Cheese, Worestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl and toss gently to mix.  Spoon into a shallow medium baking dish.  Sprinkle the Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese evenly over the top.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.  Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Seve with Melba toast.  Serves 6-8. 

$29.95 on our website and in our store
Happenings in Historic Downtown Galveston , Texas.


I can't tell you how yummy this recipe is!  It will absolutely be a crowd pleaser! If you'd like more recipes like this, visit our online store to purchase the Junior League of Galveston County's cookbook "Culinary Classics from Beachside to Boardwalk". 

Delicious food deserves presentation.  Delicious food at a tailgate deserves a spirited presentation!  Our melamine plates and trays come in a variety of designs and colors to match your school and express your spirit!  Our specialties are our beloved Texas teams!

Ahoy! It's a Birthday!






Ahoy there bloggers and friends! 
Nautical themed birthday parties are all the rage!  Recently, HH Design House created many of the fun and unique decorations for a little sailor's first birthday. We'd love to share some pictures of swashbuckling party.  Anchors aweigh!








You're invited!  These navy, red, and powder blue tri-fold invitations were sent out to friends and family for Noah's first birthday. We created a unique monogram, anchors, whales, and sailboats which were used throughout the party and for decoration!


Mommy created a door hanger out of an old life preserver.








Look how much this sailor has grown!  Mommy came up with the idea to take a picture of Noah each month.  These picture frames are topped with a decal, created by HH Design House to indicate which month each picture was taken up to a year!







In lieu of a guest book, guests signed a canvas with the special Noah nautical monogram!




Drinks were served in custom cups








Guests had a whale of a time with these water bottles wrapped in HH Design House custom labels!




Ye still thirst matey? Sip smoothly with these straws for Sailor's Delight Sangria!






The party was hosted in the back yard of Mommy and Daddy's house.  Nautical center pieces included red, white, and navy balloons and lanterns.  Guests could play with beach balls and enjoy yummy how-you-like-it grilled cheese sandwiches prepared by the chef!




Matching cupcake toppers and food cards were created for all the yummy treats!



Napkin ties had Noah's monogram attached!




We hope you didn't make too much of a mess, but just in case, monogrammed napkins were with in reach!


What a fun table setting complete with a banner!


We think this sailor enjoyed his birthday adventure!


Thanks for dropping an anchor!  Cookies by Baked by Drake were given as favors to guests.  Hayley says they were as good to eat as they were to look at!  They must have been absolutely DE-LISH!


Tags created by HH Design House were attached to the goodie bags.

 















Just like waves in the ocean, there are ups and downs to every party, but we think that everyone had a great time!
