The polenta can also be prepared a few days in advance if you need.

Everyone who has cooked so far has made incredible food! The highlight for me was probably the churro’s Kylie made. YUM! The pressure was on to cook something delicious. The hardest part was deciding on what to actually make. This is because […]
