This Year Consider Catering options for your Easter Dinner

 

At the intersection of time starved consumers and family fun at our house Easter was alive with activity both inside and out and always included extended family members the help make that day special. Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® believes that the more time you have to spend with your family and friends both inside and out the richer your memories will be. Here are five reasons having your Easter Dinner catered just me be the best option for a family:

1.       Relax and Enjoy: Catered Easter dinner frees you from hours in the kitchen prepping, cooking, and cleaning. Spend quality time with family reminiscing and making memories.

2.       Variety and Expertise: Caterers offer a wider selection of dishes than you might typically make at home. They can handle dietary restrictions and ensure everything is perfectly cooked.

3.       Less Stress, More Fun: No worrying about burning the main course or forgetting an ingredient. Caterers take care of everything, so you can focus on setting the table and decorations.

4.       Leftovers Done Right: Catered portions are often pre-determined, reducing food waste. You'll have delicious leftovers to enjoy throughout the week.

5.       Cleanup is a Breeze: Catered meals usually come with disposable serving ware or minimal dishes. Relax after dinner and let someone else handle the cleanup!
