Brrr... it's cold out there. Come join like minded foodies for Sunday dinner. Whereas Sunday is often leftovers night, join us for a home cooked meal and make new friends.

I formed this group for two reasons: 1)  Being single can be lonely and sometimes it can be hard to get up off the couch and do something.  This group provides an informal way to meet other ladies.  It's not a date where there is pressure involved or awkwardness if it doesn't work out.  It's important to stay mobile, stay active and socialize!  How else will you meet your soul mate? 2)  People ask if they are dating someone can they still be part of the group?  I say YES!!  It's very important w …
