Use part of your dinner menu to decorate the plates at the table.

We had been traveling and I was ill-prepared for Father’s Day this year. But I did fix a special meal, splurging on some beef tenderloin for the grill. The fresh pineapple was going to be cut up and served with the dinner, but I decided to cut it length-wise into sixths and place a leafy wedge on everyone’s plate at the table. The pineapple added a lot of color to the table, as well as making the meal feel more festive.

Look for beauty in the simple details, and enjoy!
