Last week was amazing! There is no other way to put it! I had the opportunity to donate a meal from Deelish as a raffle prize for the Core Compassion Project. This is a great cause that works with cancer survivors and uses pilates in their rehabilitiation. They do more than help survivors with physical strength, they help them with mental strength. The ladies that spoke were truly an inspiration. Here is a great article covering the event:
Lots of great things have been happening with my decision to let everyone know about my plans of starting a catering company. If you haven't heard, it's called Deelish! I came up with that name simply because I always say, "mmmm, that was deelish!!" Thus, the name was chosen. This venture is something that I've been working on for a long, long time. I've been keeping notes, journals and logs for about two years now and I've been collecting all of my life a book recipes. And with a push from some great people in my life and some nudges from God, I truly believe, now is the time to make it happen.
My plan is to cater small events at first, such as birthdays, anniversaries, holiday parties, etc. The response has been amazing and I am so excited to working on my first events very soon. Don't want to jinx myself, so I won't elaborate until I have some things set in stone.
In addition to catering, I really like to focus on healthy eating. So also in my plans, I want to incorporate the ability for families or singles to purchase healthy meals from me for their weekly meal planning. I am very excited to work on this as well!! There is so much good happening on this front also, so stay tuned. And if you are one of the ones who want some of these meals, I promise I'm working on pricing and plans as I write this.
Next up is the Q City Charlotte BBQ Championship. We are entered in the Chicken, Ribs and Butt categories. This is being held in downtown Charlotte on Oct 18 & 19. We will have free samples so we'd love to see you there!!! Look for the "Oink Oink My Good Man" booth, that's us!!
And if that isn't enough, I'm training for a half marathon in November. I'm about half way there in my training now, but I feel good about it. I'm so happy to be training with some great girls in this adventure.
Anyhoo, that's about it for now.. this is just a quick update and hopefully I'll have more for next time!
