Curried Butternut Squash Soup "Shooters"

Curried Butternut Squash "Shooters"

Over the weekend I catered a wedding at a nature center in Reston, Virginia. The bride wanted a rustic menu that featured food that is representative of the fall harvest. Just exactly the kind of client I love because as you know I am wedded to eating foods in their growing season. I was thrilled everyone not only loved the food they really appreciated it was in season! Here's the autumn wedding reception menu.
