New Years Eve Dinner Party
Some info about our Gourmet Group: We are 4 couples who enjoy cooking, entertaining, and most of all, each other’s company.
We take turns hosting in our homes. The hosts decide on the menu (theme) from appetizers to dessert for the evening. The hosts cook most of the meal, but give at least one course (along with all the recipes) to the other couples to prepare. We love trying new recipes and ideas. So most of the time the recipes are ones we haven’t cooked before, but they don’t have to be.
Our Gourmet Group were not together for New Years Eve. However, we loved being able to celebrate a Belated New Years Eve Celebration together when another couple hosted us with a New Years Eve theme recently.
It was a great way to kick off our 2019 season of Gourmet Get-Togethers!

A Wedding Story (from a Groom’s Mother): A Couples Shower
I started writing this post over 1 year ago. Due to matters popping up from time to time since then, this post sadly kept getting put to the side. However, it was never far from my thoughts. I was always determined to get back to it, and to also finish writing the story of this Beautiful Wedding Journey. So without further ado…

Another couple hosted our Gourmet Group this past December. Her family has had a cabin in upper Wisconsin for many years. Our Group got to experience a taste of it with their theme for the evening, “A Christmas Up North”.
WELCOME TO THEIR CABIN…
