What We're Loving: Whole Foods Catering

It may seem early, but with the beginning of August thoughts start slowly turning toward fall and, inevitably, the beginning of the holiday season, which means parties, get-togethers, and family gatherings—lots of them.

It can be a stressful time for those planning to entertain — feeding hordes of hungry cousins, aunts, and uncles that descend upon your home can seem more like a burden than a time to enjoy. Take the stress out of planning by checking out Whole Foods Catering: available online. It allows you to pick a variety of dishes that you can easily pick up from your nearest Whole Foods and bring home to serve.

Hosting brunch? The "Rise and Shine" section offers an assortment of delicious fruit platters, quiches, pastries, and granolas. For cocktail hour, the service has a variety of cheese plates, bruschetta, hummus plates, and skewers that would be perfect to set out as appetizers. And, of course, for those big holiday dinners, Whole Foods provides entrees such as beef tenderloin, London broil, and grilled salmon that you can serve to your guests, eliminating a lot of stress and planning, and allowing you to enjoy yourself.
