Holiday Cooking Class & A Recipe Preview!

Sunday, I am teaching a great group of young adults how to plan, prepare and host a Holiday Cocktail Party!  This group of "20 Somethings"made up of some really awesome men and women meet once a week in a Life Group.  From the friendships that developed, they also started a supper club and last month the girls approached me about a cooking class.  Of course, I jumped at the opportunity!  We are going to have a great time cooking and planning Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years parties that are tasty, fun and affordable.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing my recipes and parties tips, so stay tuned.  If you need a little help with Holiday recipes or family dishes & menus,  I've got a couple of open dates for private cooking classes, so grab a couple of friends and let's celebrate!

Here's a sneak peak of a recipe I'll be sharing on Sunday.  Party food that is easy to prepare with a flavor surprise and is easy on your budget....
