Pizza/Flatbread & Greek Flavors… sounds like a great evening of food for us!
There has been a lot of conversations around here about our favorite flavors and foods as we are currently trying to pick not only a menu for our wedding but also a caterer. The wedding is just over 6 months away and since we are such lovers of food we want everyone at our wedding to eat some really yummy foods (and we still want money leftover to be able to feed ourselves after the wedding).
Topping our list of favorites are FRESH flavors, Pizzas, Mexican, Garlic, Sushi, Greek, Italian, & Cheese.

These cookies have just the right (not overwhelming at all) bit of pumpkin flavor so don’t pass them up just because it is after Thanksgiving and you feel like it is too late to enjoy pumpkin or something silly like that. As a side note here, it is never too late to enjoy pumpkin & these cookies will be loved/devoured by all that you serve it to!
