One of my favorite parts of our Woodland Wonderland shoot was the delicious food by Homespun Atlanta. Beginning with the wintery kale salad and ending with the butternut squash creme brûlée I promise Chef Jason’s dishes are ones that will make it on to your holiday table this year and for years to come. Truly, MKR
