So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.

~ Ecclesiastes 8:15, NLT

Private Party Dinner Menu Ideas
(these are not set in stone)

Parties of 20 or more may choose up to two entrees.

Included with each meal:
fresh homemade crusty artisan bread
and side salad (choose one please)

1. salad greens and fresh veggies tossed
with Dijon vinaigrette
2. salad greens with red onion, blue cheese,
pear, walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette

Note: I offer an open menu so the vegetables and starches can be alternated/switched. If there is a dish you would like to try that I don’t have listed, let me know and I will do my best to prepare it.

Entrees

Chicken Lasagna. Layers of lasagna noodles, slow cooked chicken, green pepper, garlic, cheese and cream sauce. Served with a side salad or soup and fresh bread. This is my most popular chicken dish. It's simple, but everyone seems to love it. $12 per person

Sherry marinated chicken breast. Chicken breasts marinated then seared on the grill and finished in the oven. Seasonal vegetables are served on the side with buttered parsley potatoes. $14 per person

Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic served with rice pilaf, seasonal vegetables and side salad or soup with fresh bread - incredibly tender chicken slow cooked with garlic cloves and white wine. This is not an over powering dish. $14 per person

Chicken Piccata over a bed of pasta and broccoli, side salad or soup and homemade artisan bread - chicken breast is cut thin then lightly breaded, sautéed, and braised in a lemon and caper sauce. $15

Turkey or Beef Osso Bucco with creamy polenta served with side salad or soup and fresh bread - tender turkey slow simmered with carrot and onion in a tomato base, then served over creamy polenta. The ultimate comfort food. $15 per person

Seafood Imperial served with carrot rice pilaf, seasonal vegetables, side salad or soup and fresh bread. A filet of whatever whitefish I can get for the season (Swai, flounder, cod) topped with a crab cake mixture, then finished in the oven. $20 per person

Alternately, if you would like a bit of variety for your guests I can set up a buffet of two meats, potato, vegetable, salad or soup and fresh bread for $17 per person, or add $3 to the higher priced meat of the two. Or, prime rib buffet with either pork or chicken and sides for $27.
