I can’t believe it’s Friday already. I can’t believe it’s May already! The next few months are going to be packed for me with travel and weddings and photo shoots, so this weekend, I’m going to try and take advantage of our sunshine and get outside to soak it in while I can… Do [...]
One of the things I like the most about coco+kelley is Cassandra’s interest and commitment to entertaining. Being a cook at heart, I love to set a nice table and take time to choose proper plating and garnish my food. But Cass takes it to another level entirely and details the room. I love this. [...]
Molly {Dreams in HD} yum! this sounds absolutely delicious!
Kelly - Fabulous K I don’t normally like cooked carrots, but those look delish!
Cassandra LaValle oh, i LOVE them… they have to be just right. a teensy bit of crunch. i hope you try them out!!
Kacie Roasted carrots are the best! They get all sweet and caramelized. YUM.
Tiffany @ Triple Crème Decadence Yum. I love the sweet and savory elements of this yogurt. Such a great idea!
The crêpe itself is a noble, balanced creature, but take liberties with the filling; it can be as rustic, ethnic, seasonal, low-brow or as fancy as you wish. Our most luxurious and delicate savory Easter crêpe is an excellent excuse to use some of the legendary sweet and succulent Pacific Northwest Dungeness crab along with [...]
Sincerely Sammie I love savory crepes! Definitely trying this recipe at home.

Hi, everyone! It’s Kelly from Design Crush popping in while Cassandra is off being adventurous in Africa. I’m here to chat a little about Valentine’s Day – it’s right around the corner, you know. I have to say, Valentine’s Day is about as personal as a holiday can get. Whether you’re reminding your sweetheart how much they [...]

KC Saling I can’t wait to try that flourless cupcake recipe. The blackberries sold me
I promised a recipe later today for the three chocolate dipping sauces and I’m here to deliver! Churros alone are delicious, but these chocolate sauces put them over the top! My favorite was the Chocolate Chili because I’m a huge fan of dark chocolate and spice, but they were all amazing! Even the white chocolate [...]
Ashley @ Yeah We Bake I was JUST telling a coworker about the amazing churros and chocolate I had at Xoco in Chicago. Now I’m inspired to make my own
xo,
Ashley
Yelle Wow! I love chocolate every which way, and the flavor combinations in the chocolate dippings sound really intriguing!

Yesterday, we showed you our idea of the perfect Mexican-themed dinner party for Valentine’s Day dinner with your sweeties. But, we left out one very important detail… dessert!!! I enlisted the help of my local churro expert, Uncle Beefy, who whipped up a whole batch of these tasty treats for our churro bar! I don’t [...]
Noe Yummmm …
Just one thing…the churros are original from Spain, not from Mexico
Big kisses !! xx
Cassandra LaValle Post author thanks for the note noe! i grew up in LA where i believe mexicans have basically adopted churros into their culture. i didn’t mean to discredit spain for the original idea… but i think it works well with a mexican theme too!
Kate Yum! Who doesn’t love a churro!! Great post to remember for Cinco de Mayo!!
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Is there anything better in life than churros???
Athena Ben Oh my!! Churros!!
I miss my Barcelona trip now!
xx, A!

mikky Oooo, I was hoping the dessert would be churros! First time I had them was at a tapas bar, I wanted to lick the little chocolate pot it was so tasty. Say thanks to Uncle Beefy for the recipe!

vieve They look great, but he said the chocolate recipe would be shared here… where is it?
Cassandra LaValle Post author hi vieve! we just put up the post with the recipe – enjoy!
Rathna Love the food styling on this, Cassandra!
Cassandra LaValle Post author thanks rathna!!
Nora Those look absolutely delicious!
Nora
While most of us tend to spend Valentine’s Day with our one and only (or, you know, a box of chocolates), I think it makes things way more fun to spend an evening with all the people we adore, right? (You can go make out with your sweetie later. Nobody wants to see that at the dinner [...]
Sadie + Stella This is fabulous. Truly. Especially those napkins. Oy!
Rochelle Nigri I love the idea of this! What better way to show the people you care about that they are important to you even on the most “couple specific” day of the year.
Stand Out Great mise en place and lovely atmosphere
Anna Louisa I love this idea for a mexican wedding reception (instead of the brights you usually see). Fantastic!
Kate Can we talk about your dress?? Love it!! Where is it from??
Cassandra LaValle Post author Hi Kate! The dress (I think I mentioned in the post…) is vintage and was the inspiration for the whole table! I found it at a local vintage shop! No label
Kate I would give my left pinky if I could set a table that nicely! You don’t really need your left pinky, do you?
xx,
Kate

Andi of My Beautiful Adventures This is beyond amazing!!!!! I love the white dress too!
Molly {Dreams in HD} so creative and lovely!!
Becca I LOVE this whole thing. I think celebrating Valentine’s day with all of the people you love is definitely the way to go – and who doesn’t love Mexican food? Are you going to share recipes for some of the things you mentioned? The table setting is really fantastic. The Anthro hand towels work perfectly as placemats.
Cassandra LaValle Post author Thanks Becca!! My feeling towards Mexican food is mutual The recipes for all those courses are linked in the post!!
Krisztina Williams So lovely, especially the subtle touched of red.
Maria @ Orchard Bloom This is so beautiful and understated! I really love the ‘place mats.’ and the mixture of texture in the place settings. gorgeous!
Lauren Ashley what a sweet thought – and the red embroidery on the placemats is so beautiful!
Emily I absolutely love Glassybabies and they really give the table that special V-day punch here. And what shows love and gratitude like yummy mexican food? Seriously.
emily I love this, Cass! So inspiring…and the photos of you are beautiful.
vintage market place wow, this is so beautiful and LOVE the pops of red.
I just think it is so inviting and would love to set my table this way for a small dinner party with friends.
Loving the idea of blankets too.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Amy
blair @ design that inspires love this! so classy, especially when people usually think of bright colors and piñatas at Mexican themed parties!
Kelly Golightly Perfecto in every way!!!
Jeri I am in love with this. It makes me miss you & sharing a dinner table with my girls. I’m sure you’ll start the party off with some glamorous margaritas. Lots of love.
Cassandra LaValle Post author miss you tons miss jeri!!
Kory Beautiful! I love the idea of doing a Valentine’s dinner for friends too. I completely agree that the day should be about sharing the love with all of the important people in your life.
mikky Mexican Valentine’s dinner, I like it! I love the paper chandelier, it is just so pretty and festive. Would love to do one like that outside this summer. And love the runners too, very cute. And those red rimmed glasses are great.
Now what about that dessert?

joanna i designed those towels you used as placemats! they look great like that
Ileana What a lovely idea. I especially love the menu.
leslie Love, love, love this whole look!
What color glassybaby did you use? They are GORGEOUS.
Cassandra LaValle Post author hi leslie! the red on is ‘love’ (so appropriate, right?) and the white ones are a mix of pearl, hope and cream (i believe). it made me want to add a ton of white ones to my small but growing collection!
Carolyn This refreshing, elegant table setting proves there more to Mexican style than sombrero chip bowls and garish colors. I’d love to know where you got your lovely dress!
Maureen Goldman This is a totally cool idea! You took Valentine’s Day dining up a notch (or two.) I love that the table has so much visual interest without looking crowded or too touched by color.
maureen goldman What a great way to reimagine a Valentine’s Day dinner! Your table setting inspires me because it is full of visual interest without looking cluttered.
life is in the details. style accordingly.
Oh my gosh, yum. I’m trying this, THIS weekend.
OMG! If I had a patio, this would be installed!
http://happinessiscreating.com/
That is a great solution for a small outdoor bar area, never would have thought of that!
Right after my Mint Julep!! franki
Love the idea of this! Just caught up on other posts. Fabulous as always
Jamie Herzlinger
This is the perfect tequila drink. I love the hue, and I want something else to mix for my friends besides margaritas. Lovely!
Nothing beats a liquor bar on the patio on a hot day.
