Veggie Menu Options for Your Wedding Guests by A Catered Affair
Thursday, September 16, 2010
Typically when I think of vegetables at a buffet station, I think of a platter of cold, grilled vegetables like asparagus, limp artichokes, slimey peppers and lackluster mushrooms. I still eat them, don't get me wrong - it's nice to strike a balance between all the heavier hors d'ouevres that comprise the rest of the buffet. But there are times I wish the vegetable options were given as much attention as the meat and deep-fried foods are in preparation and presentation. Well, someone at A Catered Affair must have heard my pleas because this week, they had a blog post on some of the vegetable station items, that are appealing both visually and in the flavor department. When we find great blog posts, we always like to share them with you...

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend eating at least three to five servings of fruit and four to eight servings of vegetables daily. However, a 2005 survey of close to 350,000 adults in the U.S. found that, on average, people in the United States eat 1.6 servings of fruit and 3.2 servings of vegetables, well below recommendations. This made me wonder, perhaps people aren’t eating as many fruits and vegetables due to the fact that they aren’t as attractive visually and tastefully! This is where Main Event Productions’, A Catered Affair, takes the stage and steals the show! Check out what we have done with a few fruits and vegetables…

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
