Happy Halloween! I’m gearing up for a night inside with friends, homemade spicy chili and the first fireplace fire of the season! All the Westerwood kiddos better stop by for tricks and treats (that means dental floss and chocolate!) It seems like the summer has blown by to winter so quickly and it’s hard not to think about the holidays ahead.  With that said… I’ve got an announcement!

I’m excited to let ya’ll know that I’m partnering with The Fresh Market this holiday season to bring some fresh recipes, seasonal products and entertaining tips throughout the season.  I’ve been a huge fan of The Fresh Market since I moved to Greensboro and I’m excited about our partnership.  Plus, we are lucky that they are also a local brand for those of us in Greensboro! So, stay tuned!

In the meantime, The Fresh Market is having its annual “Taste of the Holidays” sampling event this Friday and Saturday, November 2 and 3. The event will feature a sampling of the Fresh Market’s best holiday foods for both those who love to cook – or love to assemble! Standing rib roast, shrimp and cocktail sauce, fully cooked turkey and sides from our deli, holiday pies and much more! Make sure to check it out during your cold weather errands!

The Greensboro Fresh Market stores will also offer folks a special treat with live holiday music performances by the Greensboro Symphony.
