Hello Friends!
As part of the blog we are trying to bring back the Sunday night family dinners we both grew up with. Think of it as a supper club. Below is a basic menu with Sunday dates through Winter – lots of cozy winter meals. (If this is successful we’ll create a menu for the springtime/summer too!) We can only accommodate 6 people comfortably so pick a date with a meal you like and RSVP to me (you can RSVP for as many spots as you’d like and pick as many as you’d like! I will let you know if there is room). Dinners will start at 6 pm and we promise to remind you closer to the dates that you’ve chosen. All we ask is that you bring a bottle of wine! I hope you can make it and we look forward to seeing you at our house!
PS. We have two cats and menus are subject to change…;)
