More food from the last two receptions I did for Magleby’s. They were on the same night and I was running up and down the stairs from wedding reception to wedding reception! It was crazy but so fun!…

I remember when I was a kid, I used to watch my older sister while doing crafts or doodling and wonder why I didn’t get the artistic gene. We have artists in our family (see here and here). I…
