Cater Your Thanksgiving Dinner This Year!

Say Goodbye to the Hassle of Shopping for Ingredients

Holiday shopping is the most hectic kind of shopping; it involves endless lines and crowded, hectic atmospheres trying to battle other customers for the last can of cranberries. Avoid the craziness this year by letting the Fresh From the Kitchen team create your Thanksgiving meal. We’ll take care of everything from finding the best ingredients to crafting the perfectly cooked meal.

As a catering company we have access to the best possible prices on ingredients through our industry-specific vendor relationships. That means you’ll get the highest grade products at the best affordable prices. We also have industrial-sized, professional kitchens to make sure your meal is crafted perfectly.

Save on Time and Cost, Seriously

The holidays are expensive; in both price and in the value of your time. By having Fresh From the Kitchen cater your Thanksgiving meal, you can actually save time and money. A recent estimate by the American Farm Bureau Federation found that the average cost of an at-home Thanksgiving meal in 2015 was $50.11, serving 10 guests. The study looked at the cost of 12 typical Thanksgiving dishes like turkey,bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls, butter, peas, cranberries, carrots and celery for a relish tray, pumpkin pie, whipped cream, coffee, and milk. Creating a Thanksgiving meal from scratch can take upwards of 8+ hours. All of these expenses are also opportunity costs to you; meaning you could spend your time and money on things you’d rather be doing on Thanksgiving – like watching football and relaxing. Let Fresh From the Kitchen save you money by catering your Thanksgiving meal!

Take the Time to Relax

The definition of a holiday is: an extended period of leisure and recreation. This is the actual definition of what a holiday is! Are your holidays like this? For most of us, the holidays are some of the most hectic, stressful, and least relaxing times of the year. Yes, they’re also filled with wonderful memory-making opportunities; but let’s not kid ourselves, the holidays are stressful. Take the stress off this year by letting Fresh From the Kitchen cater your Thanksgiving meal. Say goodbye to stress knots and hello to more relaxation time.
