Last night's mocktail class was pretty wonderful! I think we'll host another next year!

Happy Friday!

We are all stocked up on mushroom boxes for the weekend at Stoodt's Fresh Market, Sweet Grass of Ohio, and Stake's IGA!

I didn't take any mushroom photos this week so here's a picture of a gorgeous drink I made at Gnat and Bee 's mocktail class last night. So much fun!

Remember to think about our oyster mushrooms for your green bean casserole this Thanksgiving!

Have a beautiful rest of your weekend! 🥰
