It’s almost that time of year for giving thanks to all that is important to us. While it’s a lot more hopeful than it was in the last year or two, we still are in pandemic mode so our gatherings are small and careful. Thankfully, there are so many great restaurants and catering companies to support – and if you’re anything like me, I am more than happy to support a local business while saving time in the kitchen!
Did we miss you?! Please get in touch with us so we can add you to the list! – Last Updated: Oct 6, 2021
