Halloween is quickly approaching which means it’s time to prepare some spooky treats! We’re excited to get into our kitchens and cook and bake. We will be doing a cook-along throughout the month of October. We decided the perfect book to start with is the “Hocus Pocus Cookbook.” (via Amazon; affiliate link) Of course, we will be reading dark books while enjoying the finished product.
Join us as we cook through these cookbooks in our home kitchens, then come together online to share our photos, tips, successes, and failures with other group members! Join us here!
