A Touch of Class Catering by Christi

Last weekend, I attended a wedding ceremony at Little Piney Lodge in Hermann Mo. The bride is a beloved cousin so I was there as a guest but I also had the privilege of catering a few items for her. I made her wedding cake which was both Gluten and Dairy-free (it turned out really delicious!!) and also some individual Charcuterie boxes to be enjoyed between the Ceremony and Reception Dinner- Thank you to Sandy/Nana, Abby and Shane for your help with these!!! I also set up a hot beverage bar that included Coffee, Cider and Hot Water for Tea & Cocoa. My husband helped me with this and he was a tremendous blessing 💕. The winter setting at Little Piney was incredible, the Bride was stunning, the food was delicious and we all had a wonderful time celebrating this blessed marriage union. I’m so grateful for my family and the time we spent together!

Saturday last, I catered a 60th Wedding Anniversary for an AMAZING couple (they also celebrated his 80th Birthday!). Throughout the evening, they danced and laughed together as though they were celebrating the start of their marriage… it truly was a joyous day and I felt privileged to witness this grand occasion!

I catered a celebration of life luncheon for a lovely family yesterday! The event took place at St. Anselm Parish.

THANK YOU to Larry and Anthony for your assistance! The numerous trips to help unload and reload my equipment before and after was a blessing and hugely appreciated!

I generally don’t post a lot about my family on my Business Page but I’d like to share a special blessing we received for the July 4th weekend. My son Andrew is in law school and is currently Interning for Alan W. McIntyre, Attorney at Law. He and his wife Dorla sent these amazing fresh “Purple” Green Beans to us as a holiday treat. For all my cooking, I’ve never seen any like these (I admit, all my skills are in the kitchen – I DO NOT have a green thumb, nor do I enjoy gardening😉) but I truly love experiencing new foods and seeing what others are growing, producing etc.
My instructions (through Andrew) were to cook them as I would any fresh green bean, and the purple color would become a vibrant green. The pictures below show the steps I took and the transformation. These were probably the freshest and most delicious green beans I’ve ever had so I wanted to give a shout out and “THANK YOU” to Alan and Dorla… I appreciate you thinking of us- Mmmm, DELICIOUS!

This is a Touch of Class House Recipe. I call it my Tostadita Dip and I serve it with Yellow Corn Chips!
This is a layer dip that includes: shredded Chipotle seasoned Chicken, Black Beans, a spicy white Queso, Chihuahua Cheese Shreds and topped w/ a Roasted Corn and Red Pepper Salsa and a touch of Lime. I garnish with a touch of Sour Cream, Jalapeño slices and fresh Cilantro! It is DELICIOUS!!!

An exquisite Medium Rare Filet!

I sliced it thin and folded it on to toasted slider buns (Butter w/toasted sesame, White w/Poppy Seed and Salted Pretzel), then topped with Monterey Jack Cheese and Boston Lettuce.

Sauces were served on the side and included: Chipotle Horsey Mayo, Horseradish Mayo and Spicy Mustard!

Celebrating Immanuel St. Charles’ Class of 2024 with a Graduation Dinner! This is always a FUN event for me… It’s an opportunity to reconnect with Teachers and Staff members I see less often now that all our kiddos are in high school or college 😊.
God Bless you Class of ‘24 and ENJOY High School!

This is a Charcuterie “display” I recently put together… there is actually so much more to it but I didn’t get the best angle for my pic😕.

The cake turned out FABULOUS!!

I absolutely adore fried Goat Cheese so tonight I assembled a mixed greens salad w/ fresh diced apple, Clementine slices, blackberries, blueberries, red onion, toasted sweet pecan, and a raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette. The fried Goat Cheese discs make this a perfect dinner!

As a custom caterer, I receive special requests quite frequently for various dietary restrictions. I enjoy a challenge and dove in to creating a muffin that would serve for almost any need or request. These are a homemade Blueberry Muffin I created… they are Vegan, Dairy/Gluten & Peanut-Free! I used Rice Flour, my favorite non-dairy “butter” substitute, Oat Milk and Applesauce for added moistness. You know what? They turned out FABULOUS (in my humble opinion😉)!!!!
