Over the next three days, my mom and her trusty sidekick, Kerry, will prepare food for over 550 people. That isn’t unusual for them. They can crank out food more than that old guy from Tennessee who had that cooking show on PBS when I was a kid. I don’t remember his name, but he […]
Making Carrot Cupcakes!
We are lucky enough to have a cake decorator on staff. She claims that making carrots on cupcakes is easy! Let’s see if you agree! First of all, she made carrot cake in the cupcakes. Next up, she made a cream cheese frosting in white, orange and green. She begins the process by piping on […]
Yik Yak Breakfast Day!
We had a strange morning in our neck of the woods. Several students from our district decided to antagonize police officers through an app called Yik Yak. Ultimately, this event ended in my children staying home from school after it was cancelled for the day. Being a nice mom, I made them get out of […]
Our Sweet Tooth
It is that time of the year. Time to eat. Sysco had their spring show and they invited us to try all of their goodies. Last year, we were looking to try a burger for our Tuesday burger night. This year, we had our Easter Brunch and new General Store‘s Bakery section to fill. We were […]
We’re Eating. Again…
When I meet people who work in a cubicle, they envy my job. I have a great view out of my office window, not to mention the fact that I go to a golf course every day. That is many people’s dream come true. The people who come to the golf course are happy. They […]
Classy Dumpster Diving
One of our good friends told us about a commercial kitchen that was getting demoed. They were planning to just throw away lots of great kitchen equipment, so he invited us to take a peak at it in case we wanted some of it. The kitchen had not been in use for about five years, […]
Cinnamon, Sugar, Cookies, Bread – Oh My!
Last year, my mom decided she wanted to have a Bake Sale. She enjoys spending time in her kitchen and golfers, wedding guests, and family enjoy eating what she makes. She’s been making homemade cinnamon rolls for years. When I saw a small girl, she used to make four dozen every morning to sell at […]
Honey, I Shrunk My Pants!
Back in the spring, mom and I made our way up to Ankeny to check out Sysco’s new test kitchen. They had a show while we were there and even made us our very own sandwiches! Our main purpose this spring was to taste our way to the best burger we could find for our […]
Tuesday Night Burger Night
I have lived on the golf course my whole life. For the vast majority of it, we haven’t really had many options to dine nearby. It has been nice that Pleasant Hill and Altoona have provided some more options in recent years, but it is still a 10+ minute drive. When we were visiting a […]
Sysco Makes Our Brains and Stomachs Work
Our main food supplier is Sysco. They are located up in Ankeny, however, they are a national corporation that serves the food industry. We have worked with them for about the last five years and they have been very good to us. For the most part, we do our ordering online and by-pass a relationship […]
