Let's Go Camping!

In honor of national camping moth we wanted to do a round-up on camping ideas for your wedding.

Mmm! I am loving this recipe I stumbled upon on Pizzazzerie. These S'more truffles would make the perfect inexpensive favor tied-up in a piece of burlap.

Ingredients:

9 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (about 1.25 cups)

2/3 cup cream

4 graham cracker sheets or 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup miniature marshmellows

2 tbsp butter

Directions:

Melt butter in medium size saucepan. Whisk in cream and bring to rapid boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Place saucepan in fridge for about 1 hour or until firm. Using your hands roll chocolate into ball around mini marshmellows. Roll chocolate in crushed graham crackers. Place in fridge to harden.

Farm-To-Table

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards in Charlottsville, VA allows your guests to enjoy the panoramic mountain backdrop while enjoying traditional menus centered on the abundance of locally produced veggies, fruit, meat and cheeses from local farmers.

Acacia in Frederick Maryland is a smaller venue and may be a great rehearsal dinner option. Acacia emphasizes fresh natural ingredients prepared on site using whole grains and organic products produced locally whenever possible. It is new American cuisine with exotic fusion in a warm California setting.

ABU hosted a wedding last September at Grandale Farm in Purcellville, VA. Head chef AJ Clark is an amazing host and prepares an exquisite menu made from scratch using locally ingredients whenever possible. Grandale provides catering services to several nearby vineyards as well.

For those of you who want farm-to-table ingredients, but don't necessarily want the rustic backdrop, Ridgewells catering whips up delicious and beautiful menus from sustainable farm-to-table ingredients. They are leading the way with organic and green entertaining in the Washington, DC area.
