Welcome to the best part of my life. I will share here my passion for family, food and feeding them, it is truly feeding a crowd!
Love recipes without pop-ups? Me too! But running this ad-free, pop-up-free kitchen costs over $500 a year. If my recipes have ever saved your dinner party, impressed your in-laws, or just filled your home with the smell of freshly baked bread, consider tossing a little dough my way! Every bit helps keep "Feeding a Crowd" alive and delicious.
Enjoy!
