Is it really August already?! Wow, we can’t believe it. That mean’s that The Monthly Mouthful is officially one year old! It all started with the “Last Supper” and now here we are, 12 months and 12 food-inspired questions later. We’re so grateful to all our participants, who have shared their foodie expertise and experiences this past year. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you!
