    These recipes look wonderful and it is so good to have all these ideas in one place when I have a family gathering to plan. Thank you so much and I need to add that your recipes have never let me down. Many have become my “go to”s when I have to take a dish to pot luck. You are a staple in my life! I appreciate the excellent photos. This particular blog will be used heavily from now until the leaves start turning colour and the wind gets nippy.
