It's The Holidays, Y'all!! Let's Eat!

Well, I got to assist at my first Food Optimist holiday party (actually, any catered event) and  it was so fun! It was for the nicest couple and their lovely friends - Chef Natalie did their wedding food and has returned for Christmas festivities since.

From the stuffed mushrooms to the flatbread with prosciutto and fig jam, to the beef skewers . . . I was there to do a couple of things - assist with prep (not being the real chef and since Natalie and our newest team member Cat were handling that) I got to chop and clean and that kind of thing, and do one of the things I do best - "hostess." "Do you need a refill?" "Are you done with that plate?" (To self) "That tray needs more crostini. . ." It was so fun! and everyone loved the food, of course.

Prepping the crostini for the pimento cheese, bacon and chive topping!!

Next time you need a catered event (or if you want to consider personal cheffing . . . ) you need to contact us! We accommodate all dietary needs (low-sodium, vegetarian, GF, etc) and focus on providing you and your family with as clean and green food as possible!! It is indeed possible to eat well AND healthfully. Just try us - we'll prove it to you!

Happy Holidays to all!

Yours,
Love Bites,
