Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year Provides Inspiration for Your Patio

Pantone revealed the 2020 Color of Year is Classic Blue. This is a great choice for outdoor furniture and accessories because this hue beautifully complements our coastal environment and opens a world of options for blending a classic color with modern design and accents.

The 2020 color is a nod to the first Color of the Year, Cerulean, another blue hue chosen in 1999 to capture a moment in time. The Pantone Color Institute selected Classic Blue to represent reassurance, confidence and a connection that people may be searching for in an uncertain global environment. Each year’s color is decided through a thoughtful process that takes into consideration lifestyle and industry trends.  Color influences can come from art, upcoming media, movies, lifestyles, socioeconomic and political conditions, travel destinations, new technology among other benchmarks.

 

For those who want to incorporate the 2020 color, consider accessories/pillows, outdoor furniture cushions and outdoor fabrics designed for backyards, patios and porches. Here’s some ideas for infusing Classic Blue in your backyard or outdoor room:

As An Accent

Spruce up your outdoor space with the color of the year (Classic Blue) by adding throw pillows that bring the perfect pop of color to almost any outdoor furniture—classic or modern design.

Above, the Ravello Woven Outdoor Furniture by Tropitone is warmed with Classic Blue outdoor pillows. This collection, designed by Robert Mainville, features long-lasting aluminum frame and TropiKane Bison Weave. The results is classic, old world charm with unsurpassed comfort.

Below, the Oasis Collection by Lane Venture gains a fresh coastal feel with classic blue outdoor pillows complemented by patterns and stripes in matching shades.

More Cushion

Another great way to infuse the color of the year is by selecting outdoor furniture with Classic Blue cushions. Brown Jordan‘s Parkway Modular Sectionals are a great example of incorporating this year’s classic blue hue with modern design.

Endless Options with Sunbrella Outdoor Fabrics

Do you have your own ideas? Sunbrella durable outdoor fabrics come in a variety of colors including Pacific Blue (a similar blue hue to this year’s classic blue). This fabric offers UV protection and is extremely durable for Destin’s harsh coastal conditions. Consider selecting Sunbrella fabrics for awnings, umbrellas, custom cushions and more.

We’re ready to help refresh your patio and bring a fresh look to your backyard with this year’s classic blue hue. Visit our showroom at 32 Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach (one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets) to explore the endless array of options or call us at 850-269-4666.

2019 Color of the Year

Many look to PANTONE for the Color of the Year but there are many companies involved in design and fashion that have their own predictions for the 2019 Color of the Year. In order to help keep your outdoor living space looking fresh and embracing the latest color trends, we’ve compiled a list of the top 2019 color of the year predictions.

 

PANTONE 2019 Color of the Year is Living Coral
Living Coral emits the desired, familiar, and energizing aspects of color found in nature. In its glorious, yet unfortunately more elusive, display beneath the sea, this vivifying and effervescent color mesmerizes the eye and mind. Lying at the center of our naturally vivid and chromatic ecosystem, PANTONE Living Coral is evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of color. Vibrant, yet mellow PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment. Living Coral represents authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy. Sociable and spirited, the engaging nature Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity.

Behr’s 2019 Color of the Year is Blueprint
An honest, approachable color that conjures up the blueprints builders rely on to bring architectural designs to life, Blueprint creates a space where you can build your own reimagined life—where awareness of what we want to build for ourselves can transform into action.

Sherwin Williams 2019 Color of the Year is Cavern Clay
Sherwin-Williams revealed its 2019 Color of the Year is Cavern Clay. A warm terracotta color with ancient, elemental roots, Cavern Clay is a nod to midcentury modern style, but with the soul of the American Southwest, which together creates the desert modern aesthetic. Cavern Clay is a warm and earthy hue that is both casual and refined. According to Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, the color embodies renewal, simplicity and free-spirited, bohemian flair.

 

People.com 2019 Color of the Year is Night Watch

How to cook your Thanksgiving Turkey on the Big Green Egg

It’s our favorite time of year! Fall grilling season, Thanksgiving feasts and holiday parties are just a few of the fun moments that make us love this time of year. How will you prepare your Thanksgiving turkey? There are three options—brined, injected or roasted. Each of these methods can be accomplished indoors in the oven or outdoors on the smoker or the Big Green Egg. Here’s a look at each so you can determine your turkey preference.

Roasted
Roasted turkeys may be cooked in oven  but we prefer them cooked on a smoker or Big Green Egg. Roasting a turkey is best done in a two-step process. Set the EGG up for indirect cooking with the temp at 325°F/163°C. Use a handful of pecan chips for a light, smoky flavor and to provide a deep brown color to the turkey. Spread the seasoning generously over the outside of the bird. Load the bird onto a Vertical Poultry Roaster or Rib and Roasting Rack, then place into a drip pan. Add the onion and celery to the drip pan. Fill the pan with chicken broth, wine, or water. Cook for 12 minutes per pound until the turkey has reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F/74°C throughout the bird. Reserve the drippings from the drip pan to make gravy. For complete roasting recipe for turkey on the Big Green Egg, click here.

Brined
Soaking a turkey overnight in a solution of salt and water ensures moist results. When you add aromatics to the brine, the resulting roast is also infused with a subtle character all its own. You can brine a turkey for the oven or smoker.

Smoked Brined Turkey
Once you try brined turkey, you’ll soon want to try a “smoked” brined turkey. The turkey gains a subtle smoky flavor and is moist and succulent, and if you prefer a bolder smoky flavor, add more hickory or pecan smoking wood chips in increments during cooking. This turkey is great for holiday meals, and you can use the leftovers to make wonderful sandwiches.

This turkey has a subtle smoky flavor and is moist, juicy and delicious. To cook a smoked brined turkey on your Big Green Egg, click here for  Chef Kevin Rathbun’s delicious recipe. Or try Steven Raichlen’s Maple-Brined Smoke-Roasted Turkey recipe and prepared to be “wowed!’

Injected

Injected turkeys tend to have bold flavor. Click here to view two video recipes from Dr. BBQ, demonstrating how to prepare two holiday turkey flavors– an Injected Cajun Creole Butter Turkey and a Lemon, Pepper and Herb Turkey. If you are preparing a whole turkey, just double the injection recipe and inject into the thighs as well as the breasts. These are great recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a delicious meal throughout the year.

Ready to get a Big Green Egg or enhance/build your outdoor kitchen? Contacts us Bay Breeze Patio at 850-269-4666 to discuss the joys of an outdoor kitchen.

Eggs on the Beach Cooking Competition Raises $36,000 for Local NonProfits

We are excited to announce that the 5th Annual Eggs On the Beach Big Green Egg cooking competition raised $36,000 for local non-profit organizations, including our two nonprofit partners—Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought. Held at Seascape Resort, we were excited to welcome more than 750 tasters, honorary judges, nearly 30 cook teams, sponsors, and supporters.

Both Food for Thought and the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast received a $15,000 donation as the result of the 2018 Eggs on the Beach EggFest. Located on Eglin Air Force Base, the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast provides a “home away from home” for military families so they can be together during medical treatment. Food For Thought, which manages food pantries in Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, helps fight food insecurity by providing backpacks filled with healthy, easy to prepare foods for more than 3,000 students each week who are dependent on free or reduced school meals.

We attribute the success to our amazing cook teams and volunteers. We have worked hard to create the best food festival in the area and it is because our cook teams keep raising the bar. We are humbled to see the community come together to support these great causes.

In the non-profit category, the Rotary Club of Destin earned first place and a $3,000 donation for their butterflied pork tenderloin spread with a thin layer of cream cheese and sprinkled with jalapeños and green onions then rolled up and wrapped in bacon. The dish was topped with maple-soaked pecan chips smoked on the Big Green Egg as well as a Granny Smith apple, dried cranberry, pecan, sun-dried tomatoes and Knob Creek maple bourbon chutney sauce. In second place, the Air Commando Association received a $2,000 donation toward their cause. Returning from New Orleans, Son of a Saint earned third place and a $1000 donation for their cause, which provides mentorship, education, cultural enrichment, and emotional support to fill the void for dozens of fatherless young men in New Orleans.

The People’s Choice Awards were presented to Sacred Que, Saltwater Restaurants, Inc. and Rotary Club of Destin. Sacred Que won with their bite, which was a sweet tea and bourbon brined beef tenderloin served on a toast point with a caramelized onion/shiitake mushroom/blue cheese spread, horseradish cream sauce, jalapeño pesto and harissa sauce. Their bite was also accompanied by Knob Creek infused raisin bread pudding with a bourbon icing sauce as well as Knob Creek smoked Old Fashion.

In addition, five honorary judges awarded trophies based on flavor, presentation and creativity. Judge’s Choice winners for 2018, include The Gulf Restaurant on Okaloosa Island , Saltwater Restaurants, Inc., and Sacred Que. The winning bite presented by The Gulf and featuring Knob Creek Bourbon was a glazed crispy pork belly with a pineapple and sweet pepper relish and sweet and hot roasted peanuts. The Gulf, along with the Rotary Club of Destin, will compete this week in the World Food Championship in Orange Beach.

For the best bite using Knob Creek Bourbon, United Firefighters Foundation from New Orleans earned first place. In second was the InDyne/RT&T team followed by the Rotary Club of Destin in third.

Last but certainly not least, the best booth display was presented to Saltwater Restaurants, Inc. The creative booth design and delicious bite was a big hit among tasters and judges. Their bite—a buffalo sirloin with a side shrimp served with a glass of Knob Creek Bourbon Smash—also earned them the second place People’s Choice Award and second place Judge’s Choice Award.

Eggs on the Beach event has been steadily growing over the last five years and the event has raised more than $125,000 to local non-profits since its inception in 2013. For those grillers who have dreamed of owning a Big Green Egg, a couple of gently used Demo Eggs are still on sale at Bay Breeze Patio. Click here to learn more about the Big Green Egg.

Marcia Blake with Sunbrella presents Design Using Color Theory, Textiles and Light at Bay Breeze Patio, July 11

Cook Team Registration Open for 2018 Eggs On the Beach Big Green Egg Cooking Competition

Save the date! The 5th Annual “Eggs on the Beach” EggFest Cooking Competition will take place on Saturday, Sept.29, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach. As one of the official Big Green Egg Festivals held around the country, Eggs on the Beach will be a delicious event for the entire family, featuring a cooking competition, “People’s Choice Awards”, “Judges Awards”, tastings, live music, and more.

If you’re a  Big Green Egg enthusiast (aka EggHead), consider entering a cook team in this fun, friendly competition. Cook team registration is now open and we believe Eggs on the Beach keeps getting better with each passing year. This year, we’re going to add a backyard category and we’re working on some fun new elements along with a great new group of celebrity judges. Anyone who enjoys cooking on the Big Green Egg should enter a team.

Cook Teams participate by creating bite size portions of their favorite recipes to be judged by the public as well as a celebrity judge. Each team of up to six is given a large or extra-large Big Green Egg to use during the competition. Bay Breeze Patio provides the lump charcoal, fire starter, table, tent, paper plates, plastic utensils, napkins and toothpicks. Tasters vote for their favorites, as teams vie for bragging rights and prizes, including the grand prize, a brand new large Big Green Egg.

This year, teams can enter in one of three categories—the main event, backyard enthusiast and non-profit cook team. Prizes vary depending on the category. The grand prize for the main event is a large Big Green Egg (valued at $1,110), the grand prize for backyard enthusiasts is a Mini-Max portable Big Green Egg and the grand prize in the non-profit category is $3,000 donation to the charity of the team’s choice.

All proceeds from Eggs on the Beach will benefit two local charities—The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought. Located on Eglin Air Force Base, the Fisher House provides a “home away from home” for military families ensuring family members can be together during treatment for serious illness or physical/occupational therapy. Food For Thought aims to end food insecurity by serving students in Okaloosa and Walton County with backpacks filled with healthy meals and snacks for nights and weekends. In addition, tickets may be purchased for a chance to win a Big Green Egg and other items donated by area businesses with these proceeds also benefiting the charity partners.

In 2017, Eggs on the Beach raised $29,000 for Fisher House and Food For Thought and another $6,000 was donated to non-profit organizations through the non-profit cook team category. In the past four years, Eggs on the Beach has raised nearly $100,000 for local charities.

For those who are interested in owning a Big Green Egg, the Demo Eggs that are used during the event will be sold in advance with nest (metal stand) and plate setter for a discounted price. Both Large and XL Eggs will be sold and all come with a limited lifetime warranty. Demo Eggs must be picked up after the event, between 4 – 5 p.m. on September 29.

Cook team registration is $50 for a team of six and each team member will receive a welcome bag, including a commemorative t-shirt and Wayne’s Get Grillin’ Rubs. Cook team fees are waived for non-profit cook teams, which are competing for a cash donation toward their cause.

Taster tickets are also on sale now with special advance pricing of $32.50/adult, $14/child (age 11-17) and kids 10 and under are free. Sponsorships are also available.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Dad’s Who Love to Grill

Father’s Day is almost here! If you’re still looking for the best gift for Dad for Father’s Day in Destin, at Bay Breeze Patio, we’re here to help. Since coastal Dads love to spend time outdoors, they’re known for their prowess at the grill, Big Green Egg and smokers of all kinds. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the hottest new grilling gadgets and tools for Dad.

EGGcessories. If your Dad loves to prepare foods on the Big Green Egg, Bay Breeze Patio features a diverse selection of Big Green EGGCessories, including pizza stones, cast iron grill grates, plancha griddles, and NEBO lighting.

Smoke by Thermapen. Designed for competition BBQ teams and professional chefs, Smoke outlasts and outperforms every other product in this category. But what we really love aout Smoke is that is monitors both the meat and the pit AND you can bring the receiver inside and watch it there. Two channels (one for the meat and one for the pit) and wireless to 300-feet line of sight. Smoke features a rugged housing and splash proof protection along with a dashboard-style display that shows min/mix and hi/low alarms.
