Hey guys! I’m super excited about a new series we’re launching today called “Seasonal Menus.” It’s, well, exactly what it sounds like: I’ll be sharing the perfect menus for all kinds of occasions with the simple recipes you’ll need to prepare them — some that we’ve posted on the blog before and others that are brand new. To kick it off, I’ve created a complete menu (and classic cocktail!) for what could be a pressure-filled occasion: dinner with the in-laws. It should be noted that this menu is also perfect for any other evening when you need to come across as a hostess who’s got her s*** together: dinner with the boss, meeting your boyfriend’s parents, entertaining a client… you get the picture. Click through the slides for the 3-course menu (and a classic cocktail!) Toss in the monogrammed linen napkins stashed in your pantry, swipe on your brightest red lipstick, and you’re ready to roll.

Hazelnut & Raspberry Éclairs
These are great made in advance of a party: the unfilled éclairs can be frozen for up to a month. When you’re ready to use, just thaw to room temperature, then slice, fill, and drizzle with ganache!
