Twizzler Straws: Great Picnic Idea

Monday, June 28th, 2010 | Catering | No Comments

As you set out for your picnics and music festivals this summer with your blankets and baskets in tow, think about what you leave (or ideally don’t leave) behind. One fantastic idea is using the Twizzler candy as a straw. This is perfect for the kiddos, especially in berry lemonades. Or, mix it with a spiked lemonade for you and your adult pals: refreshing, delicious and trash-free. You can also display these in a bucket of ice at your next outdoor BBQ. Lots of good times are to be had with Twizzlers, so grab some for your next event!

Taste of summer: strawberries are in season!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 | Catering | No Comments
Strawberries are now in season and will be throughout the entire summer months. They are the perfect snack for picnics, strolls, hikes or hanging out on the back patio.
They’re easy to pop in your mouth and taste great on their own. Or, think about dipping them in whipped cream, chocolate or other delightful fruit dips. We prefer to stuff them with a chocolate ganache and top with another berry, like a blue berry. This makes for a berry heaven, which is an exquisite dessert when it’s hot outside.

Oh, and did we mention they’re pretty good for you? Prized in ancient Rome for their medicinal uses, strawberries are recognized as having more vitamin C than some citrus fruits. They are also high in fiber, folate, potassium and antioxidants, making them a natural means of reducing the chances of heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

Sweet!

Crave Catering & Vista Hills Vineyard

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 | Catering | No Comments

We are proud to announce that we are now a preferred caterer at Vista Hills Vineyard! This is a family-run winery since 1995 that not only produces lovely world-class Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wine, but also provides outstanding and unbelievable views of Oregon. The entertainment space and tasting room is perched atop a hill in the Dundee Hills region, revealing vines, trees, mountains and blue skies for miles. And if you are there at the right time, you’ll catch a phenomenal show of the sunset over the Willamette Valley. This well-planned position has given way to its nickname “The Treehouse,” certainly replicating the enthusiasm you felt when you were a child at the top of a tree, looking out over the world.

We are thrilled to be partnering with this wonderful venue space, pairing our cuisine with their wine, and overall, creating a magical experience for our guests.
