The Wedding Menu

I figured this would be the best place to put this information down. It's easy to access no matter where I am, and maybe it can help another harried Mother of the Bride. My dd is getting married in January in Acadian Village Church. It is a lovely, very rustic Church built in the 1700s. DD wanted the menu to reflect our Cajun heritage as well as fit the setting. This is a country, family wedding. It is meant to reflect who we are. I will try to get all of the recipes up before the wedding. It will be a buffet service for 75-100 friends and family.
