So my adorable friend Megan McClellan who I have featured on previous blogs started this wonderful club called the “Dining Darlings” where we gather on Thursday evenings and each bring a dish centered around whatever the theme of the week happens to be. Then we dine and exchange recipes! Well, we had our first gathering here just before spring break and enjoyed the wonderful company of one another while we shared our favorite breakfast dishes. It was so much fun, and I can’t wait until we get together again. Here are the riches from our first meeting, and I will continue to post about our recipes and experiences as we meet again!
