I Will Be Having ...
Yesterday was the final day of Share Our Holiday Table; a virtual, progressive dinner, hosted by Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry. And a bountiful holiday table it was! Today as I took another look at the incredible dishes that have been put before us I thought it would be fun to, as my boys say, "play restaurant." And so I did. And it was fun. Better than a Calgon Take Me Away moment. I dreamily browsed through each Share Our Holiday Table post and ordered a complete 7-course meal! Delish. And so fun.
Here is what I ordered. Oh and by the way, the meal was beyond my every expectation!

What a great idea. There were so many tasty recipes with beautiful photos and it is even better to see them as a complete meal.
Oh, what a great idea to have your holiday meal from all these great bloggers/chefs, Lexie! I'm so honored to be included! I'll be making my Reindeer Antlers punch for a gathering at my house on Friday evening. ;-) Enjoying this meal would be incredible! Hope we raise tons for SOS through the Share Our Holiday Table event!

What a nice way to finish up this wonderful event Thanks so much for including me in your 7-course meal, and I hope we were all able to help raise awareness and funds for SOS, which meets such a enormous need.
Now that is an amazing feast Lexie! Only Shirley would come up with a recipe called Reindeer Antler punch. Gotta love her.
