Wintery Kale Salad by Homespun Atlanta, Waiting On Martha

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

DIY Fruit & Rosemary Punch Bowl Ice Ring, Waiting On Martha

Punch is back big time and what better way to jazz up your next party than with a fancy-schmancy punch bowl ice ring?  Of course what you put in your ice ring will depend on what your punch actually is, but for our Woodland Wonderland dinner I filled my ice ring with blueberries, raspberries, oranges, and rosemary and added it to a bowl full of champagne.  By keeping it simple with champagne it allowed the fruits and herbs of the ice ring to truly shine.  So TGIF my Loves, and Cheers!  Truly, MKR
