City of Sammamish Holiday Celebration | December 14

The City of Sammamish Celebrates Local Volunteers at Holiday Party

Green Apple had the pleasure of working for a wonderful client last night; the city of Sammamish! The city treated its' volunteers to an amazing holiday party that included great drinks and a delicious buffet. City volunteers started off with a fresh and delicious Caesar Salad topped with House-made Garlic Croutons & Shaved Parmesan. Dinner consisted of a few options, the first being a Penne Pasta with Wild Mushrooms, Fresh Spinach, Peas, and Cracked Garlic in a light White Wine Cream Sauce. Another option was Green Apple's Lemon Thyme Chicken over Caramelized Onions. Guests enjoyed their salads and dinners with Freshly Baked Rolls with Whipped Herb Butter. Lastly, Chef Kari's famous cookies were provided for dessert. There were Coconut and Macadamia cookies, as well as classic Chocolate Chip cookies. As usual the desserts were rich and exquisite, and the perfect finish to a fantastic meal! In the crowd there was one vegan, and two gluten free folks. Green Apple made custom meals for all three people, and made sure everything met the standards of the aforementioned guests. Green Apple is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure no client has to sacrifice fun or flavor when they have a unique diet. All in all, the party went smoothly and guests seemed to be quite pleased; they even invited us back for next year's party on the spot! Thank you to the City of Sammamish for the opportunity! Check out a couple photos below.

Green Apples First Client! | December 6

November 27 Wedding with Green Apple's First Client Booked

Green Apple has obviously done many events before this particular wedding, but these loyal clients were our first to book a wedding with us when we opened our kitchen. The wedding was amazing, and the guests were some of the most fun-loving and kind folks we have had the privilege of working with! The event was held at the very modern and attractive Georgetown Studios for 120 people. The mother of the bride and owner of Green Apple Kris Brown partnered on decor for the venue as it is a blank slate for each bride to customize. The theme ended up as a unique and elegant chocolate, green, and orange color scheme. The nights highlights entailed a great hors d'Oeuvres table, an espresso cart, a stocked bar, and a creative mix of a classic wedding cake and petite dessert selections. As a family owned business, Green Apple appreciates nothing more than seeing a family come together for a special event like a wedding to have a great time! These folks danced the night away, and all 120 guests in attendance participated in an awesome conga line! It was such a joy to help this wedding party create a night to remember for the family, and for the team at Green Apple to complete our first booking successfully! Check out photos from the event below!

Harvest Dinner | November 15

Office Update

With fall upon us, and the holiday season just around the corner, Green Apple has been a busy place lately! First off, we would like to thank our veterans for their service! The employees at Green Apple were thinking about how thankful we are to have people like our veterans to protect our freedom as we took our day of observance. On another note, we are also thankful for all of the wonderful clients we have worked with lately! It has been a joy to be a part of fall gatherings and harvest dinners.

Harvest Dinner

Green Apple had the privilege to provide an excellent harvest dinner to one of our fantastic clients this last weekend. Guests started the meal off with a Butternut Squash Soup that was garnished with Cream Fraiche and Julienne Green Apples. Paired with the soup was a fresh Northwest Greens Salad that included Pears, Parmesan Cheese, and Pepitas tossed in a Champagne Vinaigrette. Guests were delighted by the soup and salad service! Green Apple surprised everyone by serving the soup out of real pumpkins! Dinner then consisted of Fresh Green Beans with Lemon Zest and Shallots, an amazing Pumpkin Risotto, and Spinach and Ricotta stuffed Chicken Breast. The Spinach and Ricotta stuffed Chicken Breast is always a favorite! Please take a look at some photos of the dinner below:

Northwest Events Show | October 12

Northwest Events Show

The Green Apple team had a blast running the booth at the Northwest Events Show this year! Our booth got so many compliments thanks to the great decorations Cheryl and Kris put together (a fire and ice theme), and the mesmerizing ice sculptures crafted by Creative Ice in Kent. The food Green Apple brought to the event was a huge hit with clients touring the convention. Our amazing Chef Cari made Lamb Meatballs with a Tomato Spice Jam, Belgian Endive Spears with a Gorgonzola Mousse and Diced Pear, and finally Green Apple's famous Lavender Cupcakes! Rave reviews were given to all the food, and the cupcakes seemed to be one of the favorite desserts at the entire show based on how many got eaten! The Green Apple team had a fabulous time at the event, and everyone is excited about their new business connections and networking resulting from the show. Check out some photos from our day at the Northwest Events Show in the space below!
