Charlene went to pickup farm fresh Pennsylvania produce today at the PA auction. There were so many fresh and ripe fruits and vegetables. This auction is just like an antique auction. Bids are placed on the bins and there is a lot of buying! • • • #charleneskitchen #charlenesvault #oldtownalexandria #alexandriava #oldtownalexandria #cater #catering #farmers #market #fruits #veggies #bonappetit #fresh #yum

Charlene catered a lovely bridal shower today! The shower was for Maggie Friedman and it was hosted by Karen Barnes, Maggie’s future mother-in-law! Charlene made the beautiful floral arrangements but everything else belonged to Karen. The menu featured chicken salad with mini croissants, salade nicoise with grilled shrimp, tomato mozzarella salad, and a fruit platter. For dessert, Charlene made three different cakes: chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, coconut cake with cream cheese frosting, and lemon cake with lemon buttercream! Charlene also made mint iced tea and ginger lemonade for non-alcoholic options at the bar. We loved catering this shower for them and we can’t wait to do Maggie and Attison’s wedding in September too!

Charlene catered a lovely end of the year party this past Tuesday for her new clients. This was the FULL Charlene Experience. All of the plates, platters, vintage glasses, flatware, and linens were rented from Charlenes Vault. The floral arrangements were designed by Charlene and contain the wild dill weed she recently picked. At the bar, there was a Ginger Lemonade featured with a few spirits, seltzer water, and soda. The menu contained Mini BLTs, Mini Lump Crab Cakes, Shrimp Salad Nicoise with Grilled Chicken, a Mediterranean Platter and Saffron Penne with peas, mushrooms, and asparagus. For desert, Charlene prepared Lemon Bars and White Chocolate Chocolate Chip cookies.
