More Party Ideas



With plenty of president birthdays and Valentine's Day in the month of February, there are a lot of themes a birthday celebrant could go for. Set yourself apart from the red, white, blue, and red or pink V-day themes.

Think "amethyst," the month's birthstone, as inspiration for this party with a menu of Caramelized Amethyst Potatoes, Japanese Eggplant Goat Cheese Rolls, and more. And, as always with our monthly birthday series, we have some February Facts and Trivia to spark conversation at your dinner party.

A menu of luscious ingredients is ideal for a February birthday. Celebrate with purple potatoes inspired by February's amethyst birthstone, Chicken, Artichoke, & Pistachio Paupiettes with a Citrus & Yellow Tomato Coulis, and so much more for an indulgent and poignant birthday.

Given the amount of "purifiyng" rain that typically falls during this winter month in the Northern Hemisphere, the name seems appropriate. Read on for more fun February facts. Read More

Candied Amethyst Potatoes

The rich purple color of these spuds makes for a striking side dish to any party, but is especially dramatic in the heart of a February Winter. I love serving them in white or contrasting colored bowl to give the presentation an extra pop. Read More

Chicken, Artichoke, & Pistachio Paupiettes

These think strips of chicken rolled with veggies will impress your guests as well as your tummies! I love the citrus in this recipe, especially during February; a tasty reminder that Spring is on its way. Read More
