The first boxed lunch run!
Nutrisha was on the road today delivering fresh boxed lunches. What a treat to offer farm fresh produce with nutrient rich flavorful recipes to folks at work.
So, I left the nice camera at home and was not able to get a great photo of the final product but here is a last minute look at the lunches delivered today. Would love your feedback.
Slow roasted pork loin and farm fresh organic green peppers from Delvin Farm CSA in Sazon Tropical and lime juice. The pork is thin sliced and packed in the tortilla with spring mix greens, organic tomatoes and fresh spicy guac. Mixed spring greens and mozz bring balance and nutrients to this flavor packed wrap.
What's more? Fresh organic watermelon from Devlin Farm CSA alongside Apple & Brie tarts made fresh this morning.
Delivered for $10 to the first folks that responded to the ad. What a deal! So glad they enjoyed it and glad I could provide the service. This is my joy!

Eagleville Country Horse Show: The food!
This event, Nutrisha's first event of this scale, exemplified the Nutrisha concept. The week leading up to the day of the event I was in contact with known and unknown local food sources. Utilizing local food, supporting small farmers and using the freshest food possible is one of the main objectives of the Nutrisha concept. From the nutrition standpoint and culinary arts using the farm fresh local produce provides more nutrient efficiency and better flavor respectively. The food offerings were created with as much local in season produce as possible and provided a fresh concession option for participants and spectators. In the spirit of local economy and community the Eagleville Country Horse Show is an annual event that supports the Community Center which provides a free or low cost venue for activities in the small town.
Nutrisha Caters: Eagleville Country Horse Show
Five years ago this weekend I attended my first horse show on the arm of my tattooed Marine friend who later became my husband. It was this event that I first witnessed a five year old ride his pony over an obstacle course and still have the phone photos of my now ten year old brother in law. I have grown into and with this family and they have broadened and deepened my knowledge of not only the horse world but farming, Norwegian life and how to be a Marine wife.
The Horse Show was so fun, I'm ready for another event!!!
Maybe, just maybe... Nutrisha has a chance to set up a booth for free (which is a BIG BIG DEAL for my new small business venture) at the upcoming Mud Run Nashville, TN.
This event raises money for breast cancer and unlike 5k events is FUN and Messy! Just what I have been looking for! I will be running in the Mud Run with "Saving Second Base" and hopefully setting up a booth with Nutrisha goodies.
If you want to run with our team go ahead and register with us, will be so fun!

Farm fresh berries for horse show concessions
Another trip to Bee Sweet Berry Farms, this time to secure supplies for a catering event...
Tuesday morning I called the fine folks at Bee Sweet Berry Farm in Lewisburg TN to find out if I would be able to use fresh berries. Good news! Raspberries were ready to be picked! Since I had met Ron on my previous trip to the berry farm I was pleased to be able to talk to and later meet Judi. When I first started this endeavor I imagined a scenario just like this: "Good morning, this is Trish from Nutrisha. I will be catering a horse show this weekend and would like to use some of your berries if you have any available". We chatted about the dark clouds forming in the area and how the rain makes the berries too fragile to pick and we would reconnect the next morning.

Florida Food Tour: The Perfect Cup- Matlacha, FL
Did you know that the tiny fishing community of Matlacha, FL ( pronounced Mat-La-Shay) has it's very own coffee roaster? Okay, if you have never been to or even heard of Matlacha then Florida tourism is doing exactly what it intends, keeping you in Orlando and Destin. If you are familiar with this island rich with art and grouper then you know the REAL Florida, the Florida I was fortunate to call a second home to Tennessee. Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Florida Food Tour: Ceviche Downtown St. Pete
The dinner that almost wasn't and the service that was mediocre...
When I read restaurant recommendations for the downtown St. Petersburg area, everyone insisted on Ceviche. Ceviche is a Spanish tapas restaurant with three different dining experiences depending on your preference. We opted for the outdoor patio complete with wrought iron tables, chairs and umbrellas. It was 9:45pm when we finally got out to our dinner destination so there was concern that we might not even get to sample the acclaimed menu. Good news! They take their last tables in this side of the restaurant at 10 and we made it just in time. While the tapas we sampled were well constructed I was disappointed (again) with the standard of service and knowledge of local fish by the wait staff. The disappointment appeared again at dessert, but we will talk about that in a minute.
