🎃 Friday — A Little Spooky, A Lot Delicious

Urgent!!! Last call for Halloween booking 😱

Not everything coming out of the Farm To Belly kitchen has to be pretty… sometimes it just needs to be a little creepy and downright delicious. 👻

A few spooky bites from the archives:

🩸 Bloodshot Deviled Eggs
🍗 Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Brown Sugar Stone-Ground Mustard Sauce
🧠 Brain-Shaped Waffles — because apparently waffles taste better when they look slightly disturbing. 😂

I love creating food that fits the occasion, whether it’s elegant, rustic, festive… or just a little weird in the best way.

Halloween is coming, y’all. What would you dig into first? 👇

This is a special day! My mascot/baby girl, Princess Leia is 7 years old today! That is ~57 in human years! Guess we should celebrate with carrot cake! Happy birthday honey bunny!

7 years used to be the extent of a rabbits life, but luckily with more education about proper care of bunnies they are living a lot longer. Hopefully 🤞, here’s to many more years with my ride or die cuddle bug pal!

A beautiful buffet just hits different. ✨

Y’all know I’m a sucker for a good buffet display. It’s not just about putting food on a table — presentation matters!

I love creating a buffet where the food looks as good as it tastes, everything has its place, and your guests can walk up and immediately start getting excited about what’s waiting for them.

Because let’s be honest… we eat with our eyes first. 👀

And there’s something pretty darn satisfying about seeing a buffet come together after all that prep work behind the scenes.

Would you rather have a beautiful buffet or a plated meal at your next event?

Both are comfort in a bowl, but everybody’s got their favorite! 😋

🍰 HOSTESS TIP FROM CHEF COWGIRL

One question I get when people are planning a dinner or gathering:

“How much Dessert should I buy?”

Here’s a good starting point:

If you're having a plated dessert such as Cake or Pie plan on 1 slice per person. I'm finding that at weddings just less than 80% of the guests stick around for cake, so save yourself some wedding money.

If you're having a dessert buffet or passed desserts you want to offer:
30 guests ~ 2 options
40 guests ~ 3 options
50+ guests ~4-5 options
Your want 2-3 pieces each option depending on if guest had food, your serving kids, or the party lasts long.
..or you can make it even easier and have Farm To Belly cater.

And always have a little extra. Running out of meat is much harder to fix than having left overs! As my FOH Mentor, Ahmad Farahani, says “It’s cheaper to buy extra, than to run out and loose a client”.

Like the pic of Chocolate Mousse Shots I did for the baby shower for my first niece?

Save this for your next dinner party!

🤠 Monday Memories: Hometown Folks & Holiday Cheer! ❤️🎄
Taking a little trip down memory lane to my mama’s office Christmas party with Gainesville Title Company at The County Seat Kitchen & Cocktails in my hometown of Gainesville, Texas!
This one was extra special because it was filled with familiar faces and folks who have been part of my story for years.
❤️ Getting a photo with Gainesville Mayor Tommy Moore and his wife, Paula Moore, who also happened to be my junior high principal! She was one of those people who helped me along the way, and I’ve always appreciated that.
❤️ A picture with my mama, Deanna McNeill, and my Aunt Lisa. You can’t beat family, especially when there’s good food involved!
🎶 And, of course, my favorite local DJ, DJ KD - The Spinner!
There’s something special about coming home, seeing familiar faces, and getting to serve the very community that helped shape you.
Now, y’all know what’s coming next… HOLIDAY SEASON! 🎄🥂
If you’re fixin’ to host a company Christmas party, family gathering, or holiday celebration, let Farm To Belly take some of the work off your plate — literally! 😂
You round up your favorite people, and I’ll handle the grub. Just don’t wait till the cows come home to get your date booked!
📩 Reach out to Farm To Belly to start planning your holiday gathering. Dates are limited, and bookings are underway! Remember, I’m taking less events than I did last year.

Some of my favorite parts of this business have nothing to do with what’s on the plate. ❤️
A little trip down memory lane at The County Seat in my hometown of Gainesville, Texas, with two ladies who have been part of my journey.
One is my best friend who grew right alongside me, and the other is Madi, my former sous chef who has since moseyed on up to Kansas. ❤️
We were serving up a business holiday party, but the best part was getting to share the day with good people. Because at the end of the day, good food fills your belly, but good people fill your heart.
And if that ain’t the truth, I reckon I don’t know what is. 🤠

EVENT INSPIRATION ✨

Let’s talk about the part of hosting that nobody puts on the Pinterest board…

The STRESS. 😂

The menu.
The shopping.
The cooking.
The tables.
The serving pieces.
The last-minute details.
Trying to make sure everyone is fed… while you’re supposed to be enjoying your own event.

No thank you. 😉

This beautiful setup at Knotting Hill Place is a perfect example of what happens when you let the food and the details be someone else’s job.

A beautifully set table.
A huge charcuterie, fruit & dessert buffet.
Plenty for your guests to enjoy.
And most importantly…

You get to actually be present at your own party.

Whether you’re planning a family milestone, corporate gathering, holiday party, wedding-related event, or just a really good excuse to get your people together—you shouldn’t have to spend the whole day in the kitchen.

That’s where Farm To Belly comes in. 👩‍🍳

You gather the people. I’ll help take care of the food.

And remember… event dates are a limited resource. My calendar is intentionally smaller this year, so if you have a date in mind, don’t wait until it’s gone.

🚨 LAST CALL, Y’ALL! 🚨

Your event date is a limited resource… and once it’s gone, I can’t make another one appear on the calendar. 😉

This photo takes me back to a catering gig at Firehouse 1918 in my hometown of Gainesville, surrounded by a great crew—and my sister was even there helping me pull it all together. ❤️

There’s nothing like having the right team behind you when the buffet line starts moving and it’s time to get it done!

I’m taking on about half the number of gigs I did last year, which means I have fewer dates available for the upcoming holiday season.

🎃 Halloween parties
🍂 Family milestones & celebrations
🏢 Corporate events
🎄 Christmas & holiday parties
🥂 Special gatherings

If you’ve been thinking, “I really need to get that booked…”

THIS IS YOUR SIGN.

Don’t wait until your preferred date is already taken. Get your date locked in now.

HUMP DAY! 🐪 And y’all… those calendar pages are MOVING FAST!

We’re down to just 26 days until Halloween and only 11½ weeks until Christmas! 🎃🎄

And here’s the big thing: I’m taking on about HALF the number of gigs I did last year.

I’ve learned that doing three days and nights straight without a break isn’t exactly the recipe for longevity. 😂 So this year, I’m being more intentional about the events I take on—and that means dates will be limited.

If you’re organizing a family milestone, corporate event, Halloween party, Christmas party, holiday gathering, or special celebration, now is the time to get that date locked in!

Once your date is booked, we can start building the menu and making your event something your guests will be talking about long after the last plate is cleared. 👩‍🍳

🍚🥔HOSTESS TIP FROM CHEF COWGIRL 🍝

One question I get when people are planning a dinner or gathering:

“How much Starch should I buy?”

Here’s a good starting point:

4oz of starch per person. If your feeding the Dallas Cowboys or a group of teenage boys then you definitely want to make sure you have at about 6oz haha.

And if you’re offering more than one starch, don’t automatically split it 50/50. Think about your menu, season, and your guests. It gets trickier when you have other options, but that’s when you stick to a ratio. Also many starches like Beans, Rice, and Pasta double in size so be sure to add that into your calculation so you don't over buy... or you can make it even easier and have Farm To Belly cater.

And always have a little extra. Running out of items is much harder to fix than having left overs! As my FOH Mentor, Ahmad Farahani, says “It’s cheaper to buy extra, than to run out and loose a client”.

Like the pic of my Duchess Potatoes that I cooked in France for Atelier?

Save this for your next dinner party!
