It’s been a while since we’ve posted! The answer that many are asking- do you still cater? Yes! We have openings but we book quickly and we are very thankful for that! It’s tough to post pictures because we are serving when the food looks the best. We are booked through October but are still taking catering’s and enjoy it very much. If you’ve had our food, please comment below! Give us a review and shout out. Thank you for letting us continue to serve you. 👨‍🍳

We are so blessed to be able to cater for a wedding this weekend and it was EPIC. Sweetest couple ever and the coolest place. Roast beef, Chicken, Mashed potatoes, Green beans, Baked beans (the Grooms favorite!), rolls and butter. To drink: White Grape splash and sweet tea. It’s tough for us to take pictures of the food because when the food is out, guests are enjoying it! So glad I finally didn’t forget to take pictures this time!

Raleigh General Hospital wins awards at
Cast Iron Cook-Off Competition

Best Single Course
Raleigh General Hospital

Best Team Work
Raleigh General

Raleigh General Hospital's nutritional services department, led by Executive Chef, Kris Siuta and Sous Chef Andy McGhee,was honored at the 9th annual West Virginia Cast Iron Cook-Off competition at The Greenbrier Resort on January 18th. The Cast Iron Cook-Off is an extravaganza that showcases the best of the best in the state’s culinary arts. Teams of “foodies” led by renowned chefs from across West Virginia work diligently to produce original creations that are judged by a panel of nationally and internationally known culinary experts.
Hands busily lay out utensils, shake skillets, and sprinkle seasonings, as each team races a 75-minute clock to produce a delectable, multicourse meal. The challenge: to take traditional recipes and reinvent them in a new, original style using homegrown West Virginia ingredients and cast iron cookware. Onlookers observe the preparations and ask the chefs questions about their recipes and methods.
“The Cast Iron Cook-Off is West Virginia’s premier culinary event,” says Dr. Allen Arnold, the Collaborative for the 21st Century Appalachia’s founding director. “It brings together the region’s finest chefs and their teams in a friendly competition that is ‘eat-ertainment’ at its best. The chefs’ fuse global influences with traditional fare, and everybody uses local ingredients and cooks in cast iron. The result is a ‘New Appalachian Cuisine’ that is a culinary heritage reinvented.”
The mission of the Cast Iron Cook-Off mirrors that of the Collaborative for the 21st Century Appalachia®, a group first envisioned by Arnold as a means of promoting culinary and cultural tourism. By promoting fine Appalachian cuisine made with locally grown ingredients and traditional cookware, the Collaborative aims to showcase Appalachian heritage while supporting local growers, producers, and eateries.
The Raleigh General team consisted of Kris Siuta, Executive Chef, Andy McGhee, Sous Chef, David B Darden, CEO, James Celsor and Steve Lewis, along with 4 other volunteers and one student.

To say the least, we’ve been super busy. Here are some pics that we’ve taken. From a caramel apple bar, to ribs and delish apps... we’ve got it. Customizing your catering is where it’s at. We are enjoying this business and it’s been neat to see where God is directing us! Thanks for your support!!!

Me Too, Sister

You will still be lovely.
You will still be loved.
You will be married. You will be celebrated.
But I want to say I’m sorry.
And I want you to know it’s ok.

It’s ok to cry and to mourn the loss of a day you’ve dreamed about.
It’s ok to hurt and be frustrated and even angry.
It’s ok to desire a normal engagement season.

God is still in control & you’re still getting married.

I’m sorry your season of celebration has been met with caution and cancellation.
I’m sorry if you’ve felt alone.
I’m sorry if you don’t have support.

God is still in control & you’re still getting married.

While our focus should be on building a strong foundation for a marriage, I think a wedding is still important. And so are your feelings.

Please don’t be shamed into silence thinking that your hurt isn’t valid. Because it is.

It’s ok if you’re tired. Tired of the changes, tired of the cancellations, tired of the warnings, the concerned family members, the friends who may not be there. I know you’re tired of the losses. You’re changing plans and making accommodations. You’re doing your best. And I’m so proud of you. I’m sorry if you’re tired.

God is still in control & you’re still getting married.

It’s ok if you’re sad. Sad that you’re not getting the same experience so many others had. Sad that your big day may exclude important people, a big party, and the wedding you’d planned or dreamed about.

God is still in control & you’re still getting married.

Your feelings are valid.
They’re important and they matter.
It is understandable. It is hard.
And it’s ok to feel.
I’m so proud of you.
You’re working hard.
You’re making sacrifices.

There are many things you can’t control. But what a time to rely on the goodness of God!
At the end of the day, you will be married. You’ll be with the one you’ve chosen and the one who has chosen you!
You’ll be celebrated from afar.
You’ll be prayed over.
And whether your wedding day looks like you always dreamed of or ends up being an elopement, I pray you walk away with comfort remembering this beautiful truth:

God is still in control & you’re still getting married.

I’m praying with y’all and for y’all. Sending my love! 🤍

Fall weddings are coming to an end and we’ve had a blast this summer and fall. Full schedules to say the least, but we are so thankful for the business we have had. Business luncheons and birthday drop off parties are hard to photograph, but we are still doing them! We had the privilege to serve troops also!!! Just a very fun adventure we are having and even though it’s very tough work, it pays off when everyone is pleased. Here are some of the recaps of our most recent. If you’ve had our food and service, please review us!!

It was a pleasure to cater this wedding for Emily Fraley-Scarbro and Adam!! It was enjoyable to serve!!!

Classy, elegant and purple.....requested by the bride and delivered by Mia Bella Originals.

Working against bad weather is never easy, but doing it with a skeleton crew because of team members either being sick or dealing with other issues makes for a tough, long 15-hour work day. BUT, the Mia Bella Originals team was able to pull through and create a beautiful setting for this family and their friends. They were so pleased with the outcome (even though there were many "glitches" behind the scenes that they will never know about, teeheehee}. We literally had only 3 of our main team members working tirelessly and at a fast-pace all day to deliver the same level of service that Mia Bella Originals is known for.

Right off the top, thank God for EVERY SINGLE THING. I am so very thankful to Lisa Davis and Megan Ray for all your hard work. Thank you to my dad, Malcolm, and mom, Rita for always working (even when you are too sick to work Mom!). Thank you to my aunt Loran Morgan for coming at the last minute to help pick up some slack. Thank you to John Davis and Uncle Robert Camp for once again being great parking ninjas. This has definitely become a gathering place for my family and friends to come together and create memories------and achy bodies, LOL! Also, Thank you Jenna Cantley for being a sweetie, being SO dedicated to give it your best shot to work--even though you were sick too and had to leave. You are dependable and loyal and I'm glad you are a part of our team!

Vendors for this wedding: Thank you SO MUCH for all you do!

Bessie's Floral of Oakhill (wonderful job!)
A2 Tents (thanks John for your hustle!)
Rob Atha and Sam Adkins of Elevated Media (You guys are always a pleasure to have at my home!)
Renee Harman McMillion of Renee's Cakes (Delish!)
A&J Catering (good food and service!)
Salon Bella (You girls have become regulars here!)
Eulanda Saunders of ANEW You (I'm hoping you will become a regular too!)
Rob Newman (it was a pleasure to meet you and Audrey)
Nicole Meadows of Frozen Moments (I look forward to seeing your work)

Stay-tuned for more from Mia Bella Originals!
