About four years ago, we purchased a smoker from a catering company. Along with that catering company, came some of the jobs they had previously serviced.

Tasting Till They Drop
A few weeks ago, we hosted our annual tasting for all of our couples who plan to hold their receptions at our place this year.

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 […]
