To ensure the mom’s are the center of attention, Mother’s Day is a particularly important day to have properly planned and Eatible Delights Catering can make sure of that.

Along with corn muffins, potato salad, and collard greens, the Star Glazer Lily is completed with a delicious triple death chocolate cake. The second menu option is being called Burst of Gladiolus. This menu includes southern cooking items. Featuring items like buttermilk fried chicken, catfish, and sweet potato pie, this menu is sure to leave every mother with a southern comfort feeling.

 The third menu option featured on Mother’s Day is the Celebrating Life menu. A mix of American contemporary cooking and southern foods, the Celebrating Life menu is a great option for those seeking variety. The final menu option, Lovely Pink, features turkey and salmon as entrees. The Lovely Pink menu also includes apple and key lime pie.

Corporate Catering Ideas for Your Next Business Event

July 5th, 2012

With corporate catering, you can get high-quality meals for your clients without the fuss of having to leave the office and visiting a restaurant. If you have a major board meeting or sales pitch coming up, consider having the food brought right to your office. The catering company can come in to set up the entire meal before the clients arrive, and some caterers who deal with corporate accounts almost always offer a selection of décor that brings a high-class element to the meal.

Corporate catering is a great way to provide meal options that everyone will love. With a buffet-style breakfast or lunch, you have numerous options which appeal to everyone. In addition, hot and cold stations for the food can be provided. That means eggs, bacon, waffles and pancakes for breakfast, or hot sandwiches and soups for lunch. Other popular food options to include are fresh fruit, mixed salads and dessert trays piled with cookies and brownies.

In addition, corporate catering is great for staff appreciation events, holiday celebrations and special occasion parties to celebrate a staff member’s retirement or anniversary with the company. These periodic investments in treating your staff to a special meal will certainly pay off as they realize that their hard work is valued by the administration.

You can also consider corporate catering for evening events. Many companies have an annual party, for the holidays, a fundraiser or a meeting of shareholders. These formal evening parties deserve the attention of a corporate caterer who is experienced in working in a corporate setting. The caterers recognize that appearance, food quality and great service are all extremely important when it comes to these events, so they are able to provide the best and complete catering services for your affair.

Food And Decorating Ideas For Your 4th Of July Celebration

June 27th, 2012

America’s Independence Day is a traditional red, white and blue celebration that usually includes foods with an outdoor flavor followed by bright fireworks at night. Here are some ideas to fuel your 4th of July party food ideas and creativity.

Snacks Before Dinner

Begin by serving finger foods and appetizers. Consider serving black bean dip or salsa to add a spicy start and an appetite. Traditional creamy dips and cut vegetable sticks are also a favorite.

Barbeque

Hosting a barbeque is easy to prepare in advance, and minimal clean-up is required. You can serve hamburgers and season them up by mixing onion or garlic powder into the beef. Another barbeque option is to serve fun and festive kebabs. Use disposable wood or bamboo skewers to grill chunks of chicken, shrimp or beef. Add some flavor by using Steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce or BBQ sauce. Remember to include some side dishes.

Desserts

For dessert instead of the usual sheet cake decorated to look like the United States flag, serve individual cupcakes and frost them in white. Continue by placing strawberries and blueberries on some. Once decorated place them on a tray in the order of the colors of the flag. Your guests are sure to love them, and no eating utensils are required.

Whatever type of food you decide to serve at your 4th of July party, keeping it simple is always best. Remember that burgers, hot dogs and dips are still the all-time favorites.

Decorations

Since your 4th of July party will most likely take place outdoors make sure your decorations sparkle and shimmer. Use red, white and blue twinkle lights to dress up trees and bushes. Also use some American flag-themed decorations like flags and balloons.

Make your party even more festive by using star shaped napkins, serving trays and bowls to hold all of your salty snacks and dips. Buy flowers in the colors of the holiday to dress up tables, and add sparkling pinwheels and glow sticks to the arrangements for a fun patriotic touch.

Ways To Thank On Administrative Professionals’ Day

April 22nd, 2012

Administrative Professionals’ Day is on Wednesday, April 25, 2012. The perfect time to thank your assistant for everything he or she does to help you be even more successful. If it weren’t for administrative professionals, business would cease. Managers and executives could not be effective. In fact, if not for assistants, the entire economy would collapse.

Here are a few great ways to thank those outstanding, and necessary administrative professionals who help you succeed each and every day:

.Support their professional development. Have them attend a seminar or training session this week either on or off-site. Allowing them to observe the day through career development sends the message that you appreciate their efforts.

.Give a meaningful gift. Everyone gives flowers, coffee mugs, balloons or similar items. This year, why not invest in gifts that help advance assistants’ careers, such as books, CDs, DVDs, or other career-enhancing tools. Take your pick – and reinforce the respect you have for their career aspirations. Or give your administrative assistant something that has meaning to them: Whether it is a favorite book or a spa.

.Treat them to lunch. In our busy work days and weeks, managers and assistants rarely take time to stop, eat, and converse. Whether it is this week or 3 weeks from now, be sure to use the time to get to know your assistant even better, and avoid talking about work. Make your assistant feel as special as he or she is.

.Cater a company lunch: This is a great way get everyone together in one room to thank for their hard work day in and day out, with beautifully prepared food that appeals to all the senses of taste, smell, and sight.

.Give them special flex time. This depends on your employer’s policies and project deadlines. If you can let your assistant leave a little early one day this week, it’s a nice way to say, “Thank you for the times you’ve stayed late to help me.”

.Offer a sincere thank you. Sometimes, the most invaluable gifts we receive are heartfelt compliments. Whether you publicly praise assistants at a department meeting, or personally look them in the eye and express your gratitude, the gesture is sure to be appreciated.

Getting Ready For March Madnes

March 17th, 2012

When it comes to the March madness basketball season, it seems that going to or hosting your own basketball party is a very popular thing to do. March Madness starts “Selection Sunday,” when 64 NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball teams are selected to go to the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship tournament.

The first weekend of tournaments is the safest time to have a party to celebrate your favorite college basketball team because all the teams that make it to the tournament will play that first week.

Here are some ideas to make your March Madness party a success as well as a memorable time with friends and family.

.Having the event at your own home is a great place to host a party, but if you want to take it to the next level, how about booking a private party room with drink specials, private seating, big screens, and catering services to enjoy a big day full of games.

.Send out invitations to all of your college buddies or your basketball fanatic friends.

.Decorate using the orange and black basketball colors for your March Madness party.

.Bottle services, drink discounts, and special food catering services can all be a part of your NCAA tournament get together. Having some betting or some bracket pools during your basketball party is another way to have everyone get into the games and add more excitement to the event.

. Feeding a party can be like feeding a basketball team, so make sure you have enough food. Select dishes like Pizza Casserole, Chicken Penne Casserole, Spicy Nacho Bake, Slow-Cooked Turkey Sandwiches, Creamy Hash Brown Potatoes, Zippy Spaghetti Sauce or Slow Cooker Mexican Dip.

.If your party is going to be smaller, you might want to add to the party’s basketball theme by serving only ball or circle-shaped dishes like, Sausage Cheese Balls, Calzone Pinwheels, Stuffed Potato Skins, Bacon-Broccoli Cheese Ball, Meatball Pizza, Parmesan Potato Balls and Cheese Ball Snack Mix.

From the food to the drinks a March basketball event is a great way to enjoy your weekend and make the bracket challenge that much more exciting.

5 Breakfast Catering Ideas

February 9th, 2012

Whether you are catering a simple breakfast for a small or larger group, always be sure to provide a wide array of food choices. Consider providing a lighter, cold fare menu to a more substantial, hot buffet to awaken the guests and their appetites.

Light Breakfasts Menu

A light breakfast consists of an assortment of fresh fruit, cereal, and baked goods. Make sure seasonal, fresh fruit is included. Summer fruits include berries of all kinds, cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew. A winter assortment of fruits includes oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, green or red grapes, kiwi fruit, and bananas. Granola and other kinds of cereal can be eaten with milk or sprinkled on yogurt to make a parfait. Also adding an assortment of fruit yogurts served in glassware adds a little flare to the catering.

You can also add baked goods as an alternative. These may include Danishes, cinnamon rolls, pastries scones, and tea biscuits. Muffins whether blueberry, banana, bran or corn, are always a favorite. Finally, different flavors of bagels topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, butter or fruit preserves are always a hit.

Hot Buffets Menu

Buffets allow for dishes to be prepared in advance and kept warm in chafing trays. You can serve egg dishes, such as scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict, or huevos rancheros. Also, an assortment of breakfast meats, such as sausage, bacon and ham is always a good idea to include. In addition you can also include pancakes and French toast accompanied by warm, pure maple syrup. Finally, include breakfast potatoes, such as hash browns or lightly seasoned home fries.

Omelet Station

A made-to-order omelet station is always a crowd-pleaser. Cheeses to include are Swiss, cheddar, Gouda, and provolone. Meat choices can be sausage, bacon, and ham. Diced vegetables, such as mushrooms, onions, and peppers should also be included. Don’t forget that salsa and sour cream make excellent omelet toppings.

Waffle Station

A waffle station is another great idea to really please your guests. Provide guests with a choice of freshly made whipped cream, maple syrup, warm chocolate sauce, honey, bananas, and fresh berries to top the fresh waffles.

Breakfast Beverages

Make sure to provide several beverage selections. Of course, no breakfast is complete without freshly brewed coffee, both regular and decaffeinated. Include an assortment of teas, such as breakfast tea, black tea, and herbal blends. Make sure that half-and-half, light cream, sugar and a sugar substitute are available. Hot chocolate or cocoa with tiny marshmallows on the side is also great to have. In addition to freshly squeezed juices, include orange, grapefruit, and pineapple. Don’t forget to include two milk alternatives with one low-fat version.

What Is Cajun Cuisine?

January 10th, 2012

Cajun cuisine is a style of cooking named for the French-speaking Acadian or Cajun settled in the Acadiana region of Louisiana, USA. Many are unaware that the typical Cajun food was developed by refugees and farmers who used whatever they had to feed large families. Cajun cuisine relies heavily on meats, frequently smoked, accompanied by rice or corn. If you’re visiting New Orleans, Louisiana, or Waveland, Mississippi you will find that the menus at restaurants usually contain the favorite Cajun foods.

Cajuns are fond of their spice and rich foods, and since they live so close to the Gulf of Mexico, seafood is a big item in their dishes. Some favorites are crawfish, catfish, crabs, and oysters. Cajun spices always consist of three vegetables.  The most desired vegetables that add flavor to Cajun cuisine are bell peppers, onions and celery. A couple of other favorites are cayenne pepper and garlic.

Many Cajun foods are made from a roux, which consist of a base made from flour, fat and water. It is used to make things like gravy, stews, and of course Gumbo. An authentic Cajun meal usually consists of a three-pot affair. One pot is dedicated to the main dish, the other to steamed rice, special made sausages, or some other seafood dish, and the third containing whatever vegetable is plentiful or available.

Some primary Cajun food favorites include Boudin, Gumbo, and Jambalaya. Boudin is a type of sausage made from pork, pork liver, rice, garlic, green onions, and other spices. Boudin balls are commonly served in southern Louisiana. Gumbo is a type of stew that has sausage, shrimp, crab, oysters, and can also have chicken or pork. It also contains tomatoes, okra, and many other spices and seasonings.  Jambalaya contains rice, chicken or beef, and/or seafood such as shrimp or crawfish, and almost anything else.

Cajun food hasn’t changed much over the years, but the love of Cajun food is stronger than ever!
