Catering an Employee Luncheon at Food Lion

Yesterday I had the priviledge of catering a luncheon for a new Food Lions grocery store that is opening in Newnan. Not only was I thrilled and excited to have the fantastic opportunity to cater this job, but this particular store is opening about 5 miles from our house. We are thrilled to have a grocery store within about 5 minutes from our house!! Now, when I forget an onion or I run out of pup or kitty food, I can jump in the car and be there and back in a jiffy.

Our luncheon turned out so well. The manager of the new store, Miss Vicky told me over and over how nice everything looked, how great the food was and how much she appreciated me accomodating her last minute changes. What a nice lady she is and I really didn't find her last minute changes anything out of the ordinary.

We cooked grilled steaks with sauteed mushrooms, onions & peppers.....fresh mixed green salad with various dressings.......baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, shredded cheese and bacon bits.....homemade chocolate and pineapple pound cake and homemade banana pudding.

I set the tables with blue and white tablecloths, which are the Food Lion colors, crystal candle holders and accented with American flags. Everything looked so lovely and I was so pleased when all of the employees told me how much they liked all of the food and they all gathered to shout a great big "THANK YOU FOR OUR LUNCH". That in itself made the hard work all worth the effort.


This is a picture of myself and the other gigi who is an amazing friend and such awesome help.........

This is our pretty dessert table........




I've always believed that you should find what you truly love to do in life and let that be your passion. This is without a doubt one of the most rewarding jobs that I've ever had and my boss is pretty easy to work for as well......seeing as how my boss is me, lol.

Newnan High School Swim Team Banquet

Last night I had the privilege and pleasure of catering the Newnan High School Swim Team's Banquet. I can't even begin to say how enjoyable the evening was. These kiddos are without a doubt the most polite and well mannered young men and women that I have been around in quite some time. You know, most kiddos these days are just a little different than when I grew up. Being around these kiddo's parent's, I understood why these kiddo's were the way they are. The parent's are amazing.


This is my posse, Firefighter friend, Miss Culinary Arts, my Prince, Reggie Girl and Cousin Sis. Wow!! You could never find better friends and you could certainly never find better help. I could have never pulled it off without any one of them. The only one not present was the other gigi. She hung out with me all day yesterday and I just couldn't have gotten everything done without her help either.





Our dessert table. Hey, Who doesn't like a little dessert? I made all of that pudding from scratch and boy was it yummo.




This is our buffet line. We only used the finest china because we wanted their banquet to be special for them. My good friend Cuz Cash's son (the one who called me his "illegitimate aunt", lol) is a swimmer on this swim team and I didn't want to disappoint either one of them. I already knew a couple of the other kiddos as well and they are all great young people.




This is the swim team's cake. I would take credit for this cake but I can't. One of the swimmers Mom's brought this fantastic cake. Isn't it gorgeous?




This is a quilt that was made for the swim team coach. All the swimmers made a square and then the quilt was put together. This quilt was simply stunning. I was admiring it with the swim team coach and she was touched and marveled that they would give her such a special memory to keep forever. I don't know whether it had sunk into her quite yet that these parent's thought that she was a pretty amazing lady and a terrific coach. Moment's like this are priceless.



It was such an honor to be a part of such a special evening. We all had a great time whether we were working, watching, listening and even cleaning up afterwards. I thank the Mom's of the swim team for letting my cater their event and I hope to do so again. It was a little work, but oh so worth it...........
