I can go on and on 😊 I cook in my sleep 😀 I enjoy watching people enjoy and complimenting my food and service.. I enjoy cooking late and preparing food outside the box, trying new things to prepare and being creative 🥰 I love to take a dish from a cookbook and making it my own, the joy is endless....

    Frequently asked questions

    Finding out the type of food to prepare, and the number of people to be served for their event, and deciding if they want a self serve catering event (drop off) or servers, and location.

    For now I have over 20 years experience in cooking, and working on my certification for expansion.

    The price depends on the food choice and event... If the clients decided on something simple such as: Chicken, fish, meatballs, simple salad, vegetables, and starch, that can run from $15. to $40. Per person. Beef, pork, seafood, vegetables, starch, salad, drinks, can run from $20. To $70. Per person  depending on the selection of the food.

    I started so young cooking for my 2 Son's. Then I started hosting dinner parties for friends, and family, then it started as a hustle to help pay bills and take care of my young children, to getting referrals to do cooking events, and it turned into a full business.

    I cooked for a local biker club, Postoffice, fish fry events, thanksgiving parties, dinner parties, church events, council dinner ceremony, and more...

    I'm fond of All the events that I'm apart of catering for, from past to recent. I just Enjoy the looks of satisfaction on my clients faces 😊

    My advice would be, to be specific about your needs, from the planning, the meats, veggies, desserts, drinks, etc.. and Always communicate with the person you're looking to hire.

    Food prep, meals, setup, location.
