It's a new year and you are looking forward to being organized, focused and ahead of the rush. I figure there is no better time than now to discuss logistics as we delve back into the road to securing the right caterer for you.

Logistics are pivotal in ensuring the success of your event, special occasion, or festivities. When considering hiring someone to provide you with services, ensuring they are up for the task is paramount. There are various options to consider when selecting a food service provider/caterer.

"Pick-up" Option: This entails picking up the food directly from your vendor. Typically, it comes in disposable containers, and you receive little more than the food you ordered.

"Drop-off" Catering: Similar to pick-up, the vendor prepares your food in disposable containers, such as aluminum steam pans. You may have the option to receive wire steam pan holders, sterno fuel, and serving utensils. Some vendors go the extra mile, finishing dishes with garnish for presentation. Others offer drop-off options with rentals of stainless steel chafing warmers and additional display choices to elevate your service. These are details we'd discuss during your consultation.

Full-Service Catering: Depending on your event's size and occasion, this includes waitstaff, bartenders (as needed), table set-up and breakdown, dish service (washing and putting away), and sometimes decor.

Regardless of your chosen service level, rest assured that a significant amount of work happens in advance and behind the scenes for your event. Often, there are more staff members involved than those visible on the day of the event.

Taking the time to connect with your potential vendor is crucial to ensure they are fully equipped to handle your needs. Service and hospitality are the backbone of our business.

Let's talk flavor and how we go about building it.

This Wednesday I’m whipping back around to cover a few basics.

I’m a chef who loves working at her craft. I’m always learning, reading and filling my kit with new ways to bring mouthwatering dishes to your table. One of the things I love most is layering flavors.

Cooking is about bringing out the complexity of flavor and subtle nuances in the ingredients of your dish. Please do not be afraid of seasoning!

Seasoning is your friend!

Salt is your friend!

Fat is your friend!

Spice is your friend!

Acid is your friend!

Seasoning salt & garlic pepper is NOT the only seasoning you need, stop it! Yup, I said it! Let’s expand and if you aren’t sure, ask me, I got you.

My fondest memories of the Christmas holiday season are centered around times I spent with my Grandmother and Aunt making chex mix and baking cookies.

While I am an "OG" chex mix fan I've really enjoyed making this version of Raindeer snack mix. It's super easy to mix and so fun and colorful with the holiday M&M's and sprinkles. You can stick to one variety of Chex cereal, Corn, or whatever your favorite is. My favorite is the Honeynut right now and it pairs perfectly with this recipe.

Full recipe will be up on the blog on Friday with measurement.

Happy Holiday's

Continuing our journey in finding the perfect caterer, let's savor the delights of tastings! Tastings are more than just a prelude to your event; they're your sneak peek into the culinary wonderland we're about to unfold.

Did you know? Tastings are a fabulous way to preview a menu, especially for major events like weddings! While there's often a fee, fear not! It's usually centered around the number of dishes prepared, and here's the scoop: this fee is typically applied towards your booking.

Now, a quick taste note: Seasonality matters! Planning a summer menu in winter? Some items may be dancing on the menu come summer, but they might take a rain check during colder months. We're all about ensuring your culinary experience is as fresh as it gets!
