FYI

(Whisper mode) I've been keeping a little secret. I'm not sure if I should tell you. What if you laugh? What if you cry? Okay, I'm pretty sure you wont cry. What should I do?


Here goes.


I'm.....................................doing some small-time catering.  Shew~I'm glad I got that out.


How many of you thought I was headed to the "I'm pregnant" announcement?


That's not happening, so just move your sweet little minds from ever seeing those words on my blog. 


Anyway, my lovely friends and I, a.k.a, "The Farm Wives"  had an opportunity a few months ago  to cook and serve for 250 people. The serving part wasn't as important this time as much as it was to make sure our main dish turned out fab. And it did. From that stemmed a whole snow ball of events and ideas that keeps us gals slightly busy and excited for our future. 


The best part about who we are in this experience is our commonality in faith. It keeps us grounded and accountable, but the paramount part is our sisterhood in Christ. We all love to cook. And we love us some good wine. Unfortunately though when we have an event, we must get together prior (husbands and all) and try out the meal. You know, make sure it's top notch. It's a tough job.


This weekend was no exception for our upcoming luncheon, as we all just so happened to have a free night to experiment and indulge all in one sitting.


Amy, Megs, & Me



Our husbands and the kiddos had to suffer through with "Gourmet Mac & Cheese" and a "Pear Salad With Pancetta". (Recipes soon to come)












Oh this little one looks sweet and innocent, but she has this thing for organized tax receipts while no one is looking.




This is beside the point. Although point being, that this endeavor isn't just for us but every bit of our family too, and how they experience it with us.


Our website will be up and running soon, but for now I will keep you posted here on our events, along with any mishaps we might run into. I'm sure they'll be plenty, so stay tuned.




Also stay tuned for "Cinnamon Roll Scones With Vanilla Glaze"

  3. Yeah! So happy for you! How exciting! I thought your secret was that you secretly loved lemon ice cream or cutting onions. Something silly. You're too funny!
