Today went well! My day started at 3 AM, and looking back, I’m SO glad I started cooking before we left because when we got to Little Rock, we only had ONE oven to work with! 🤣 Preparation definitely saved us today!
I made the potato salad from scratch, and shoutout to KaLille for being a WARRIOR and peeling and dicing 10 lbs of potatoes. I got the pasta ready for the pasta salad, cooked the ground beef for the baked beans, cleaned and cut the chicken, did two rounds of baking, and got everything ready to hit the road.
Then we loaded up the truck, all that FOOD, my two youngest babies, my amazing team, and headed to Little Rock. And can I brag on us for just a second because WE WERE ON TIME! 🤣 With everything that had to happen before we left, I was PROUD of us!
Being a single mom with younger children while running a business requires a different kind of determination. Sometimes the babies have to load up and roll right along with me. Sometimes my day starts at 3 AM. And sometimes things just don’t go according to plan. But when I commit to something, I’m determined to show up and give it everything I have.
We definitely ran into a challenge when it was time to fry the fish, but WE PIVOTED! We worked with what we had, found a solution, and got it DONE!
And a HUGE shoutout to my team! Thank y’all for ALWAYS showing up and doing an amazing job. When something goes left, we figure it out together and keep moving. I truly appreciate y’all! ❤️
We were so busy that we barely got any pictures, but then I received THIS message afterward. Knowing the family enjoyed their food and my client was happy made that 3 AM start worth it!
Thank you to the Colbert-Sawyer Family for trusting us to serve your family reunion! It was such a pleasure, and I got to see SO many familiar faces that I had no idea were all family! 😂
Another catering in the books! We showed up. We adapted. We served. And we got it DONE! 🙌🏾
