Ella’s Kitchen
Our long, cold winter has gone away. Hopefully, our wet, miserable early spring will go too! Now we can enjoy May and all that it has to offer! There are many occasions to enjoy food and fellowship in May. From the Kentucky Derby through Memorial Day Weekend the kitchen (or outside grill) should be bustling with activity!
