Holy smokes. I am always inspired and super impressed with your menu ideas. Thank you for sharing these recipes with us because I am always looking for new recipes that will satisfy both Jimmy and I. Plus we get a little tired of the same food recipe rotation! The brown sugar grilled salmon sounds perfect and the pumpkin pecan cobbler sounds out of this world.
BTW I love the ironstone pot on your table holding the mums!
