Well, just got back from the orthopedic doctor and not what I wanted to hear. My foot is not healing as quickly as hoped. No weight bearing on my right foot continues for the next 4 weeks. At the earliest, we can be back cooking is early March. Will update after my next appointment in 2 weeks. I am so sorry for this inconvenience on our Dinner Service customers. Miss y’all sooo much!

🎉🎉🎉Happy 25th Anniversary Shady Oaks Catering! Today is the day it all started 25 years ago! We just finished our biggest year ever because of our incredible customers!
Thank you to our Kitchen & Catering Family for all the hard work y’all do and have done. Crazy hours, lots of shopping, deliveries, road running and many, many dirty pots & dishes! We have been Blessed with a business that is truly my passion.
If you are a customer, catering client, Facebook follower, friend, family member, checkout person at one of many stores we frequent, vehicle loader at Sams, garbage pickup person, Hancock-Whitney bank teller, fridge & cooler repairman, Thank You!
A Huge Thank You to my Hubby, Tommy for keeping everything going all these years! Without you it would not have been possible. Thank you to my kids for always checking to see if I need anything before heading home (almost always I do!).❤️Most of all, Thank You God for giving me the gift of cooking! I figured out when I was around 8 that I enjoyed cooking. By 11 it was something I did frequently at home.
We started out catering in 2000 and began our Dinner Service in 2010. 15 years later, it has continued to be Blessed and growing every year. Thank You again for any part you have made in Shady Oaks Catering! You are all Greatly Appreciated!🍴🌳❤️
