Looking for "haute" suggestions for festive entertaining this summer? Lela Rose, author of "Fresh Air Affairs",  joined Today Show's Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush with ideas for elevating July 4th celebrations. Click HERE to see the entire segment.

Recipes for watermelon basil coolers and "haute" dogs as well as festive decor such as maaterra plates, enamelware cups, and gingham napkins all add up to an uncompromised way to make summer parties stylish and sustainable.

"People really think they have to use paper and plastic, but you don't. You can elevate things, but not make it difficult," commented Lela.

maaterra offers a range of designs suitable for any location, whether it's a Hampton's beach, a Connecticut field, or the mountains of Wyoming. Our plates are not only sturdy and come in a variety of sizes, but they are also compostable, making them an eco-friendly choice for parties. After the festivities, simply dispose of the plates in the compost.

We are excited to have our plates available at Lela Rose Ranch in Jackson Hole. maaterra plates are also available for purchase online at maaterra.com, goop, as well as other great specialty stores.
