Catering orders at Rasberrys in Sun Valley

The last few remaining patches of snow are melting fast. If you need real time proof that summer has arrived in Sun Valley, view the Sun Valley Resort webcams . The summer season in Sun Valley (along with Ketchum, Hailey and Bellevue) means family gatherings, celebrations of all kinds and perhaps corporate retreats.

Once lodging is confirmed, daytime (and evening) activities and events will need to be planned. Food and beverage is also a key element to gatherings - not to mention essential! The local grocers and markets like “Atkinsons, Village Market and Albertsons” offer ample opportunities to stock the refrigerator and pantry. Our restaurant selection in Sun Valley is diverse and plentiful too.

When dining in or hosting gatherings and parties at a residence, ordering professionally prepared menus can help ease some of the work. Once a date is set, we suggest following tips for a Rasberrys catered meal:

1. Fill out the catering inquiry form at Rasberrys.net

2. Be open to menus already being prepared in the kitchen

3. Consider pickup versus delivery

4. If last minute, shop Rasberrys deli open 11 AM to 5 PM weekdays

5. Ask us for recommendations, if we cannot accommodate your order

We wish you a wonderful summer of gatherings and celebrating life’s special moments in Sun Valley.

Back to School Meals

It’s official the summer has ended and kids (both big and little) are back at their respective schools learning and growing. Those moments of frolicking at the beach or family cabin are now just memories in the rearview mirror. This is also a shift for moms and dads too, this new school routine means early mornings, packing school lunches, after school snacks and let’s not forget the main event at the end of the day - dinner! How can we pack the most nutrition into the food we prepare and serve our loved ones?

Meal planning in conjunction with your household schedule for the week can help with grocery shopping, deli pickup, etc. A few different ways to approach your at-home dinners nights

1. Entree nights such as choosing your main ingredient, but the preparation and flavors can be different each time. For instance: Monday is fish night, Tuesdays are for tofu and so on.

2. If you have children at home, mac-n-cheese Mondays and pizza Fridays may be a hit.

3. Theme your flavors on days of the week like Mediterranean Mondays, Tuesdays are for Mexican, Wednesdays are flavors from the Pacific, etc. Pro tip: Rasberrys spice blends found in the Bistro pantry.

4. Choose your method of prep for each night. Mondays could be no-cook with salads or only refrigerated ingredients, on Tuesday a crock-pot meal could be ideal or Thursday nights are for grilling.

5. Start your week off with a trip to Rasberrys deli each Monday. Pick up entrees, salads and sides that are fresh and season. A homemade loaf of bread, English muffins or a gluten-free treat are big hits too for hungry mouths. Call ahead for custom orders!

See you soon for lunch or a deli visit. We love seeing friends and hearing about what is new in your world. Be well!
