Backcountry Gourmet Lunch and Fourth of July!

I had a wonderful day yesterday catering a backcountry lunch for the Bednar Family. It was one of my first "glamping"-like (aka glamorous camping) experience. My assistant, Monica, and I hiked into a predetermined site, and met them with a beautiful spread of light to moderate portions of lunch for the kids and adults. It was great to get outside, hike, serve great food, and enjoy the spectacular views.

Backcountry Lunch:

Tossed Salad Greens with a Balsamic Cucumber Medley

Marinated Flank Steak with Baby Broccoli, Red Pepper, and Scallions on Rice Noodles with Asian Dressing

Sliced Grilled Chicken and Chicken Tenders with ketchup

Penne Pasta tossed with Butter and Parmesan

Fresh Corn-off-the-Cob

Assorted Fresh Fruit

Chocolate Brownies

Chocolate Mousse with Orange-Thyme Confit

  

Also, on the 4th of July, I presented the band, Widespread Panic, with a cake that represented their new album cover, "Dirty Side Down", and since the show was at The Spud Drive-in, I put a spud on the back of the truck. I made the cake in memory of my great friend, Kathryn Miller:)

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to WSP, Dom at Poppa Presents, and Monica of Jackson Cake Company for letting me have the chance to make things happen!
