Spicy Sausage & Shrimp Skewers

Mini Grilled Turkey Pannini with Dijon, Pesto & Provolone Cheese

Catered a double birthday party for Bruce & Peggy in Los Gatos this past weekend!! What a fun party...they had their own Bocce Ball court that their guests were playing and what a great view of downtown San Jose from their home in the hills. The menu was all appetizers and finger foods. I find that most of my events that I cater, people prefer that over just a dinner-it's more fun and the variety pleases many party guests. Here is the menu, you will notice some repeat items on this menu that I've done before, but these are crowd pleasers!!!

Ray's Suprise Birthday Party

My client Judy in Los Gatos decided to suprise her husband Ray for his birthday this year this past Saturday night. He gave her a suprise birthday party a couple of years ago and now it was pay back time for Ray. Beautiful balmy summer night, a perfect setting for Ray's day in their wonderful patio in their garden. There were 50 of Ray's close friends and family that gathered to share in the event with cocktails and appetizers. Amongst their guests were three other clients of mine, it was fun for me to serve them new and exciting food and I'm very thankful for all of the referrals that I have received by many of them over the years!
