An adult twist on a kid classic. We all love popsicle's (with a little RUM)! This a great idea for cocktail hour on a hot summer day or a refreshing cold dessert idea at your next summer BBQ. The idea is classic kid fun with an added adult kick. Grilled mango and tomatillo's make this sweet idea, savory and delicious. This isn't your mothers homemade syrupy treat, but rather a sophisticated more savory version with grilled summer fruit, fresh herbs & lime. It's Poptail Hour!

Who needs the ice cream man now, when you've got your own bartender on a stick.

A Modern BBQ Side Dish
I know a lot of people who when they hear the word "brussel sprouts" they think about a soggy or mushy, green vegetable. WRONG, when cooked right these delicious vegetables can be the queen side dish of any party. We found this tangy and sweet version that is sure to be the hit with your guests & family. Check out this recipe for Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries and Balsamic Vinegar.

I think these would also be amazing during the holidays. The dried cranberries give it that extra holiday-ish flair!
Refreshing Summer BBQ Bites
Who doesn't LOVE burgers. They are the staple of most every
"all American" Barbecue. This vegetarian version from
greenkitchenstories.com is one of the best we've ever seen and more
importantly, ever tasted! Fresh and unbelievably meaty (with no meat). This
is an exciting a SUPER fresh version of the American classic, vegan style.
Portobello Peach Burger is to die for!

Ms. Ryann Hastings
Infectious giggle? Check. Crazy work ethic? Got it. Passion for event planning? All over it! Total score for us that our newest team member, Ryann Hastings is the total package. A recent grad from the Hospitality & Tourism Management program at SDSU, Ryann not only dresses super cute everyday but incorporates that sophisticated eye for style into her event design.
A fun fact about our new gal: eventually she would love to have her own bakery and lifestyle home goods store. Since she loves sweet treats, candles and flowers why not put them all in one place!
Oh and by the way, if she's not working late or hitting a Pilates class, you can find her at her local go-to for the best food & bev, Craft & Commerce in Little Italy, yum!!!

Omegawave World Triathlon--San Diego
Last weekend Team Crown Point Catering participated in the ITU World Triathlon along Mission Bay......by serving up the VIP's from around the world!
One hundred and thirty of the world's fastest tri-athletes ran and cycled the streets of Mission Beach and swam the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean. Such an exciting honor to be chosen as the only US host city that includes stops in Auckland, Yokohama, Madrid, Kitxbuhel, Hamburg, Stockholm and London.
For those of us that couldn't attend the 2012 Summer Olympics, this prestigious event was exactly like the triathlon held at Hyde Park, but right here in our sleepy little beach town.

Thrive On!!!
Who knew the topic of food allergens/dietary lifestyles
could be so compelling, but Tracy Stuckrath with Thrive Meetings and Events not
only makes sense of it, but even makes learning about it fun!
The girl knows her stuff!
Spending the better part of her morning with us, Tracy
shared her extensive knowledge about all of the special dietary buzz words that
any smart trend setting caterer really needs to be aware of these days—gluten,
celiac, vegan, vegetarian, paleo...flexitarian anyone??
