Where the Wild ings Are

It was my turn to host Gourmet Club last night. I have a new partner, Heather. She is fabulous! We chose a ‘Tastes of Fall’ theme and used birds and nature.

All of the recipes will be up on our Gourmet Club blog if you are looking for some fresh ideas for Thanksgiving or fall parties.
