Introducing Craig's Meals CATERED

You know about Craig's Meals and you know about Craig's Meals Delivered.  However, today we're introducing [drum roll please] Craig's Meals CATERED!  [This is where you applaud and cheer.]

Let's get everybody on the same page just in case you're new to Body, Soul & Mind:

Craig's Meals is a weekly menu, grocery list, and treasure box of recipes for those looking for a way to eat completely organic (free of all preservatives and additives) and also follow the diet we've been on for over a year:  gluten-free, egg yolk-free, dye-free, nitrite-free, sulfite-free, salicylate-free (or low), and artificial sweetener free.  (If you are simply looking for a way to eat healthier, this menu would work for you as well as you could buy organic without buying gluten-free and egg yolk-free.  The same recipes would still work, just with white or wheat bread and entire eggs instead of just the whites.) 

Craig's Meals Delivered is your chance at trying out this new way of thinking/eating without committing to the monthly meal plan (Craig's Meals) yet.  Every week we offer a main dish at a discounted rate that we prepare for you and deliver to you for your enjoyment.  (Dishes like chili, mexican casserole, and barbecued chicken.)  Each dish feeds 4-8 and is completely organic as well as free of the seven items above that we avoid.  (Most are also dairy free as we have one in the family who is dairy intolerant.)  The dish arrives completely frozen and with full instructions for cooking.  (It's a great dish to keep in your freezer for that night when you don't feel like cooking.)  Or - as some of our friends do - order 2-3 and pull one out each week.  That's one less meal you have to plan and prepare each week!

Craig's Meals Catered is specifically for groups.  While we are targeting small businesses, church staff, and school staff (because they are at their place of employment each day) - we also cater parties, meetings and family get togethers.  The sky is the limit on menu items as we can prepare almost anything you would eat "normally" in a new & healthy way.  However, below you will find some examples of possible menu items to get you started.  There are three tiers/choices to choose from:

  • CASUAL - Tier 1 is the least expensive and most casual of our menus.  Some of the menu items included in this price range are Taco Salads, Chili, Soup Bar and Gourmet Pizza.  We are able to provide an organic meal free of  gluten, egg yolks, dyes, nitrites, sulfites, salicylates, and artificial sweeteners for a price less than your average fast food meal.  Tier 1 - Casual Catered Meals - are priced at $6 / person.

  • BUSINESS - Tier 2 is for our friends who want a "sit down" lunch.  (Comparable to what you might get at a Chili's or an Olive Garden.)  Some of the menu items included in this section are Baked Potato Bar, Grilled Chicken Salad, Barbecued Chicken, and Mexican Casserole.  We are able to provide this meal for less than your average sit-down lunch (and you don't have to leave a tip!).  Tier 2 - Business Catered Meals - are priced at $8 / person.

  • FORMAL - Tier 3 is for our formal dinner parties, evening church banquets or business luncheons.  Some of the menu items included in this tier are slow cooked Roast (with all the sides), chicken fried steak, Fettuccine Alfredo w/ Chicken, and Barbecued Ribs.  These meals vary in price, but are comparable to dinner out at a steakhouse.  Tier 3 - Formal Catered Meals - are priced between $12 - $20 / person.


Obviously you don't have to use a Tier 3 meal at an evening setting.  You might choose to serve a meal classified as "formal" for lunch.  And the opposite is true.  Maybe you're throwing a dinner party that is extremely casual and want to serve chili or taco salads.  The tiers are simply there for pricing - not to suggest what time of the day to serve those items nor what you should serve.
