Let's Fill The Table Again...
The Humble Beginning
My mother Yolanda Hough made dinner time magic. As a single mother of five, food was not always readily available.
As children, my siblings and I could depend on the availability of breakfast, and dinner.
The lunch that we ate during the week was usually provided at school.
Our dinner table is where many of my favorite memories with my siblings were experienced.
Camp Dinner Table wants to bring those experiences to families near and far.
Sometimes the dinner table is the car, on the couch or at the kitchen table.
Carolyn's Kitchen invites you to experience Camp Dinner Table with your family.
