Couple of lunches this week: Braised Pork Loin with a Pork Apple Velouté and Roast Beef with Beef Gravy. Velouté - French meaning "velvety" for a thickened light colored sauce vs. Gravy - thickened dark, robust flavored sauce from meat juices - origin maybe French or English. Both ours are GF - cornstarch thickened. Velouté or Gravy - both enhance the meat! Enjoy!

☠Argh Matey, what are we having for supper? The Pineapple Parrot oversees the Mango Salsa that was served with the Jerk Chicken Taco. Limes and Garlic Lime Crema drizzled the Fish Taco. Rice and Black Bean Salad, Hot Crab Dip and Chips, and choice of fresh fruit completed the meal for the RareJul "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme golf tournament fundraiser. Always a "treasure" to serve this worthy cause.

Recently we served Madeline & Sam's wedding. One of the entrees was Beef Tips and Mashed Potatoes with Green Beans and Strawberry Spinach Salad - a GF menu. We also made DF mashed potatoes for a few guests. The one guest asked for the recipe because he hadn't had "real mashed potatoes in years". So for his benefit and all other DF guests, Enjoy! I used the following good, and easy, recipe: https://brooklynfarmgirl.com/creamy-garlic-dairy-free-mashed-potatoes/

Waffle Bars for graduation parties! Most recently we served a morning brunch for my employee, Whitney. Two weeks earlier we served an afternoon brunch for Ella. We provide waffles, toppings, fruit, and sausage links (and sometimes ice cream for a dessert waffle). Then we let the guests create their personal waffle!
Congratulations Whitney and Ella! May God guide as you journey thru life.
