SEE YOU THERE!

COME TOGETHER WITH THOSE YOU LOVE IN CELEBRATION of the remarkable triumph of the Israelites emancipation from slavery in ancient Egypt! Spend these precious days to reflect on all that you have accomplished, and all of the people who mean the most to you.

Utilize these revitalizing days of rest to remember that every life is unique, special and deserving of celebration; and that love is the most important aspect of life.

THIS IS A TIME TO PARTAKE IN DELICIOUS “CHAMETZ-FREE” MEALS, AND WHOLE-HEARTED REJOICING! For those of you who may not be entirely familiar with what “Chametz” are, it means: anything containing even a trace of leavened grain (any edible substance containing wheat, rye, oats, spelt or any article which could be derived from the aforementioned grains). These foods and their derivatives are forbidden during Passover; therefore, those practicing the holiday must avoid such things as: Most breads, cookies, pastas, almost all alcoholic beverages, etc…      

The weeks leading up to Passover are spent ridding the home of Chametz, and culminates with a ceremonial hunt through one’s home the night before Passover. Like a fun game, a family will search throughout their home thoroughly in order to find any overlooked food.

Families on the following morning erect a traditional pyr; and the unpermitted, carb-filled food is burned ceremoniously.

After the burning of the Chametz, there is the grand Seder: The Seder is a giant and admirable feast held on the first two nights of Passover.

Matzah, bitter herbs, wine, and the recitation of the Haggadah make up the traditional celebration. The Haggadah is the story intimately detailing the Exodus from Egypt. The reading of the Haggadah is considered an obligation that every practicing family takes on with pride; holding themselves responsible for sharing the story of their history with the younger generations.

WITH SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND MAGNANIMOUS TIME OF JOY APPROACHING, no doubt preparing the menu and your table setting is imperative to a successful Seder! No worries, because for those of you enraptured in assuring your home is Chametz-free, Fineline Settings has culminated an array of collections dedicated to giving your Seder a head start!

WHETHER YOU’RE LOOKING FOR TIMELESS APPEAL, TRADITIONAL FLAIR- or both, then our FLAIRWARE collection will fulfill all of your table setting dreams. With plates, bowls, stemware- and even flatware to choose from; your table is set for sophistication and grace; and once your meal is complete, simply toss every bowl, fork and cup into your closest recycling bin! It’s just that simple!

IF YOU’RE HOSTING A HUGE TABLE THIS YEAR, THEN DO NOT FRET, because our full-line of high quality servingware from the PLATTER PLEASERS collection will aptly carry your load with style, grace and ease! Thanks to our Trays, Pitchers, and Serving Utensils, you’ll never be left empty-handed or over-burdened!

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR TO SHOW YOUR SWEETHEART JUST HOW MUCH YOU LIKE EM’!

Even though it’s quite chilly, the hearts and clasped hands of lovers are very much warm this 2015. It is the mother of all candy and flower days- we’re talking about V-Day!

Valentine’s Day is a holiday that, from a very early age, brings the first breeze of puppy love into our hearts. Many of us in school sought out that special boy or girl and gave them a token of affection, in hopes they would become our Valentine.

            As we grew into adolescence, it had remained equally important; this arbitrary date somehow manifesting in us the courage to approach our crushes, wearing a shield of candy, cards, or anonymity by hiding the offerings in a locker or on their desk.

            Now that some of us are older, most of us consider it just a great excuse to take time out of our busy schedule to go grab some dinner with our significant other. No matter whether you and your valentine are a budding new item, or a long-standing epic romance, let Fineline Settings help you make it just as special as that very first time you held hands!

MAKE MORE TIME FOR ROMANCE WITH SILVER SPLENDOR! This year, why not serve your special someone with style- and avoid after dinner dishes, by dining on fully disposable dishware? With the romantic curves of our SILVER AND GOLD BANDED PLATES, it is the perfect companion to help you pop that extra special question!

SERVE THEIR FAVORITE WINE OR CHAMPAGNE IN FLAIRWARE STEMWARE! When it is time to exceed their expectations, and toast everything that you treasure in one another, there is no better companion than our Flairware Stemware! From FLUTES, GLASSES, AND GOBLETS, your Valentine will never forget just how special they are to you!

MAKE THEIR HEART FLUTTER AND LET THEM IN ON YOUR BEST KEPT SILVER SECRETS! Your romantic tablescape would not be complete without the lustrous gleam of our Silver Secrets Cutlery & Serving Utensils. Let them dine with flatware that bears the weight of your meal with the beauty of sparking silver. Fineline Setting will never let you sacrifice beauty for disposability!

THIS WEEK WE’RE DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT! We’re still bringing you the all-star recipes that are sure to make your heart flutter and your stomach fill with hungry butterflies, we’re just going to make sure you can pin-it to your memory boards! We know that you and your special one will never forget this year’s Valentine’s Day! If you haven’t guessed yet, we want you to go stop by our-

LET’S GET TASTY WITH AWESOME SUPER BOWL RECIPES!

OUR FIRST RECIPE WE HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU IS FROM LIFE IN THE LOFTHOUSE. This blog, started by HOLLY LOFTHOUSE, a professional Recipe Developer, shares the recipes she has created and showcases her remarkable knack for tasty, beautiful, and family friendly food! We thought her PEPPERONI ROLL UPS were the perfect quick and easy Super Bowl snack!

THERE ARE VERY FEW EXCUSES ONE HAS TO STAY COMMITTED TO THEIR NEW YEAR’ DIET RESOLUTIONS during the Super Bowl. It is borderline unfair that the two dates are so close together, but we just couldn’t resist sharing this next one with you- it was just too awesome!

We’re taking a look at the fantastic CHEESY JALAPENO PULL BREAD recipe shared us by ELISE on SIMPLY RECIPES! This beautiful and delicious crowd pleaser is super easy and satisfying. With its spicy and gooey goodness, we know you and your guests will enjoy getting their fingers messy with this one!

NO SUPER BOWL BASH WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT NACHOS. It just isn’t right- it might even be a crime in some states… That’s why, we were quite happy to have found this unique twist on a classic game day favorite. We look to the phenomenal magician, SARAH, and are happy to share her SUPER BOWL NACHO BAR! Over at her blog, THE MAGICAL SLOW-COOKER, this part-time crockpot super hero shares her fantastic slow cooker recipes and keeps them simple and easy! You and your guests will have a great time customizing your perfect, personalized nacho plate.

Get the family, friends and rivals together and enjoy a very happy Super Bowl Sunday. Keep it clean and no tackling one another, folks- unless it’s for a congratulatory hug!

We would love to see some of your Game Day photos using our Products and maybe some of the recipes we included here today! We just love hearing from you guys!

Take it easy, and GO TEAM!

Brrr, it sure is cold out. Yes, you may be wondering why we are seeming so cruel as to remind you that the minute you step outside it is very likely the tip of your nose will frost over… but believe us, we have a very good reason!

What may that be, you ask? Well, dear friends, January just happens to be National Soup Month; and so, what better time of year could there be to give the world's most versatile comfort food a month all of its own; especially during the time of year where nothing quite hits the spot like a piping hot bowl of soup?          

That’s why we have gathered here today, dear friends, to celebrate all that is snuggly and warm! We’re here to pay homage to every broth, bisque and bouillabaisse with recipes that span the spectrum of classic to fantastic! We’ll take you across the globe this week with recipes from hometown USA to Japan, and we know you’ll be wanting to try every one of the delectable soups before the month is done!

Now, we all have to admit: what would soup be without the soup bowl…

-messy, we think it would probably be very messy.

So, ladies and gentlemen, take a look at the Fineline Settings Bowls we have to offer you for your next steamy soup soiree!

If you’re going for something simple, chic and modern, take a look at our Renaissance 12 Ounce Bowl. This bowl has a fun edge that will make even the most classic of soups look new and amazing!

Looking for something a bit more classic? Then our Flairware Bowls are the perfect companion to that Tomato soup recipe you’re dying to try. With its rippled design and multiple sizes and colors, it will be perfect for any event!

Maybe you want to take high-fashion and class to a new level you never thought could be achieved by disposable plastic; well, friend, then take a very close look at our 12 Ounce Silver Splendor Bowl. This stunning bowl is designed with beauty and quality in mind, and will quickly become a favorite regardless whether you’re serving up soup, salad, or even dessert!

If you’re looking to serve up soup but on a smaller scale, our Tiny Temptations Tiny Tureens Bowls are exactly what you’ve been looking for! Perfect portions to keep your guests satisfied without being bogged down, not to mention… there’s always room for seconds!

Now that a variety of soup serving apparatuses have been laid before you, it’s time to fill them up with a selection of some fantastic soup recipes that we know will quickly become favorites! Let’s get stirring!

First up, let’s get right down classic!

That’s right, folks, we’re talking about the Gramma of Soups: Chicken Noodle. I don’t know if a child in this country has ever NOT had a bowl of this stove top staple; nor does it seem feasible that anyone has the exact same recipe for this seemingly simple tummy warmer.

However, if you are looking for another spin on this recipe to keep in your back pocket: our friends, Cheryl and Adam, have been kind enough to share their beautifully photographed Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe! These prolific, professional food photographers share their love of food, friends and one another on their blog Picture Perfect Meals, and will have your mouth watering and your hearts warming!

If you’re a cheese fan (and let’s face it, most of us are!),

Then you’ll be happy to see that Jaclyn: a mother, wife and self-taught “almost everything culinary”, has been kind enough to share her Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese Soup! Her Blog, Cooking Classy, is the culmination of all of her passions, and she does a wonderful job of keeping beautiful recipes simple and tasty! Your crockpot will never be the same after you try this recipe!

Next, we’re taking you across the world while keeping you comfortably planted in your kitchen!

If you love a little Asian zing, then Ashley, over at her blog, Baker by Nature, has the perfect recipe for you! Her absolutely delicious 20-Minute Spicy Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup will become a staple in your recipe roll! Quick, easy and unique, this soup has everything you love and more! A perfect dish for your college kid!

Finally, we were able to come across a recipe that we just could not resist sharing!

If you are a sweets person, then the recipe for a Milk Chocolate Soup with Cake Croutons is the perfect dessert soup for you! We all have Amy, over at her blog, Very Culinary.com to thank for this remarkable concoction, and we know this soup will be a big hit with every age! Who says soup always has to be savory? Not us!

We think this was a very good way to start off 2015 right! Now that we’ve begun a brand new year full of new and exciting possibilities, it’s time to reward ourselves for braving the chilly weather with a big bowl of soup! We sure hope that you guys liked this week’s post, and that you’ll let us know how these recipes (and our bowls) made your National Soup Month better!

A HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!!

Chanukah has its origins rooted during the oppressive regime of Antiochus IV. Known as the festival of light, this holiday celebrates the miracle of the candle that had burned for eight days (just enough time for more oil to be prepared), when there was only enough oil to burn for a single night.

This holiday is, perhaps, the most well-renowned on the Jewish calendar; with its unique and beautiful nightly ceremony of prayers as each new candle is lit, it is no surprise.

This year, Chanukah is taking place from December 16^th until the night of December 24^th. So, with these wonderful days of celebration upon us, let Fineline Settings help make your eight days of rededication fashionable and fun as you serve up the Latkes, play Dreidel, and light the candles with your family and friends!

With collections that range from the elegantly simple Savvi Serve, to the exotically chic Wavetrends, no matter what your menu looks like, Fineline Settings’ disposable dinnerware will be there to compliment your style and help you celebrate with our disposable dinnerware. Our selection of high-quality serving utensils or tiny appetizer trays will be the perfect accoutrement to entertain your guests with the ease of disposable polystyrene.

For this special holiday, we’ve searched for some of the best Chanukah recipes we could find to help your celebration stay delicious, traditional, and easy so that you can spend as much time as possible with those in your life who truly matter.

There are a few customary pieces of Chanukah tradition that should always be a part of your celebration. One of these exceptional examples is perhaps the most kid-friendly; we’re talking about “gelt”! If you do not know what “gelt” is, we’re pleased to share with you that these little treats are chocolate gold coins. Dreidel (a game also deeply rooted in Chanukah tradition) is often incomplete without these little shimmering treasures.

Our friends over at OhNuts! Sweet & Crunchy Blog, have been kind enough to share their fantastic Homemade Chanukah Gelt recipe! This recipe is beyond simple and quick, and is a great opportunity to get the kids in the kitchen to help out!

Another delicious staple recipe in the Chanukah tradition is the Sufganiyot (Fried Doughnuts). The Chanukah menus is made up of mostly fried food, due to the significance of oil in the miracle described long ago. Over at Chabad.org, shares their delicious Cranberry Jelly Sufganiyot (Doughnuts) just in time for the holiday. Don’t worry, the idea of trying to whip up doughnuts may seem quite intimidating, but our generous author has provided us with the easy step-by-step instructions that will ensure your sweet treats will come out perfect!

If there was a dish that was even more vital than the two we previously listed, it has to be the Latkes! Latkes are fried potato pancakes, and a staple in Chanukah tradition that cannot be overlooked. Tori Avey over at her blog, Tori Avey.com is here to help us learn How to Make Crispy Perfect Latkes Every Time! Along with the recipes, Tori shares with us some of the history of Latkes and their role in the Jewish tradition. She also shares alternatives to the potatoes in the recipe, if you so desire!

Sure, Chanukah may not be the best holiday for your waistline, but you can’t resist the warm comfort of this holiday that brings together family and fantastic food! Our products will always be here to support all of your holiday serving needs, and we would love to hear from you as to how you implemented our collections into your celebration this year!

Most of us start planning this Holiday even before we pick out our Halloween costumes. A holiday that originated hundreds of years ago between two vastly different cultures has remained one of the biggest holidays in our country.  A tradition bringing families together across the country regardless of distance or time.

With barely two weeks left until Thanksgiving, we here at Fineline Settings have been looking forward to helping you celebrate in FLS style all year!

 This year we’ll be taking your concepts of what Thanksgiving feasting is all about and turning them on their head! We’ll share with you the most classic of holiday dishes and also help bring out your inner maverick with some menu ideas that will have you and your guests gobbling up their meals this year!

Along with the awesome recipes we’ve collected; we’ve got a fabulous selection of some of our products that will compliment your holiday table whether you stay classically chic, or edgily distinct!

Have a look at what we’ve got to help make your Thanksgiving get together all in the family and OUT of the sink!

There’s no better collection to highlight your traditional Thanksgiving celebration than Silver Splendor. With three styles, multiple sizes, and color combinations to choose from, your family will be smiling with delight as they dine on disposable dinnerware that is as distinct and classic as fine china. Complete your tablescape with our Silver Secrets Cutlery to keep your classy affair consistent!

If you’re looking to keep your Thanksgiving holiday event more about the mingle, and you don’t want to keep everyone confided to seating arrangements that are rarely abided; or maybe you want to avoid screaming across the table to have the green bean casserole passed; regardless, why not let your guests chat and delight with our Tiny Temptations Appetizer Trays and Tiny Barware? Let your guests graze and be amazed at this unique approach to Turkey Day!

No matter how you want your guests to dine on dinner, never forget that our Platter Pleasers Collection will have everything you need to serve up your entire menu with ease, elegance, and affordability! You’ll finally get the chance to enjoy your holiday in all of its glory, without running about scraping the cranberry sauce from the plates and washing platters until deep into the night… especially when there is Black Friday Shopping preparations to be made!

We’ve given you your canvas, so let’s discuss your paint. Below is our carefully selected menu ideas that will make this Thanksgiving like nothing your grandma has ever seen before! We’ll be showcasing your favorite classics, healthy options to help keep yourself fit this year, and anything else we could find to just make November 27^th easier for you! Let’s have a look!

We’ll start off with some tried and true staples slimmed down to keep your waistline in check and your pants zipped up! Our friend, Chef Meg, has come up with “A Dozen Trim Thanksgiving Recipes”, over at the health site: SparkPeople.com. With recipes like “Pumpkin Dip”, “Sweet Potato Tarts”, and “Apple Cider Gravy”, your next Thanksgiving will have all the flavor without the fat!

We know that what we’re about to suggest may be taboo to some of you and a godsend to others. Have you ever considered a… Vegetarian Thanksgiving?

Hold on, stop for a second before you laugh. Turkey may be synonymous with Thanksgiving, but most of the other dishes we have at the table are, in fact, fruit and vegetable based if we really stop to think about it: Mashed potatoes, Green bean casseroles, Cranberry sauce … The list goes on and on! Maybe we should give this idea a bit more thought?

Angela, over at her blog: oh she glows, is here to show us just how easy and delicious veggie Thanksgiving can be!  Her array of enchanting and delectable vegetarian recipes. Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Avocado Garlic Aioli, Lentil Mushroom Walnut Balls with Cranberry-Pear Sauce, and Gooey Pumpkin Spice Latte Chocolate Pudding Cake are just a few of the incredible dishes that could high-light your table this year- and all vegetarian friendly!

We saved the traditional for last, but certainly not least. For those of us who want the Thanksgiving that we’ve recalled since our childhood; filled with all of the dishes that grandma and Aunt Arlene prepared for hours; our friend, Elise, has got the recipes for you. On her blog, Simply Recipes, she leaves out all of the fuss and muss and gets right down to good, old-fashioned holiday cooking with little twinges of flair that will keep everything you love about the classic Thanksgiving recipes, and add that extra little spark you will wonder how you lived without! Apple Cranberry Pie, Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and Cranberry Apple Sauce barely even scratch the surface of what Elise has to show you to wow your guests for years to come!

This has been one of our more bulky blog posts as of late, but we knew that there was just too many awesome things to talk about to leave anything out! We’re so excited to see how you host your holiday, and we hope that our array of outlets will help you check off your list this year!

We hope that you have a most wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with your family and friends, and we’ll see you back here Monday!
