What's Cooking in Carolina?

Mainly creative menus and recipes (usually healthy) and always from scratch with tips for party planning, theme parties, weddings and decorating tips so you can give swank parties or dinners to delight your guests from a part time caterer, owner/operator of a coming soon Entree Vous, but mainly a cook and eater who grows much of her own food and loves to laugh.

    The food sounds great and I love the centerpiece on that table.

    I know how hectic it can get.

    Thanks Coffeepot! My partner, Di, makes the most beautiful flower arrangements (along with my sister, Jo Anne). I stick with the food. Di did all of the flowers for the wedding and they were beautiful.
