We were honored to cater the annual Beddy’s Spark Retreat dinner in Park City, Utah this September again for several very popular bloggers & influencers. It was a fun night full of great company and delicious food! We wanted to share the menu with you in case you are in need of some new ideas for your upcoming holiday menu’s. It was such a pleasure meeting the influencers and hanging out with the Beddy’s girls. They are always a blast!
The dinner menu that we put together this year is the perfect menu for your upcoming holiday party or special Sunday dinner. It brings together so many yummy flavors and blends them beautifully into a meal worthy of many compliments from your guests! We partnered with Redstone Olive Oil Co. for this dinner, so we used many of their specialty vinegars & oils! They turned out divine! If you don’t have a shop near you, you can always order online.

We have been blessed to be a part of the Beddy’s Spark Retreat for two years now. It is such an incredible event! For those of you who haven’t been lucky enough to know what/who Beddy’s Beds are, they “are a one-piece high quality bedding sets that zip-up so you don’t have to fumble around bed posts or walls. Even kids can make their beds in 10 seconds or less with our patented smooth zipper technology.” https://beddys.com In Short, they are amazing, and they not only have darling kids bedspreads, but awesome adult ones as well…and that is just the beginning. They have a variety of other bedding products, great for college, a camper/RV, and fun pajamas. You need to really go check them out because after you buy something for all your house, you’ll want to start giving them as gifts!!! 🙂
….And that is just their products! Then, if your lucky enough, you meet these amazing women that are behind the scenes. They are so sweet, so caring, and quite simply amazing! You can see why they are rocking it in the business world!!!
We were lucky to be introduced to this company two years ago because Suzy has an amazing and gracious friend, Sunny, who works for Beddy’s Beds, and asked if we would come up and put on a dinner at their retreat for some awesome bloggers. How could we say no to that?! We love you Sunny!
Brittany, Suzy, & Sunny
Like we mentioned earlier, we partnered with Redstone Olive Oil, who makes amazing housemade spice blends, and sales delicious infused olive oils and vinegar’s. We used several of their oils and vinegar’s in our dishes and they brought our meal to a whole new level. If you are in a pinch though, or have never bought flavored oils or vinegar’s, no worries. You can always use a regular Balsamic and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Although we would encourage you to branch out and give them a try. It truly does make all the difference! 🙂
They have three storefronts here in Utah and an amazing online store chalk full of delicious products, recipes, and information on their products and the benefits of using them. This is a business who is so passionate about what they sell and want to empower each of their customers with that knowledge. Their motto is: “Friends DON’T let friends use grocery store olive oil!” 🙂 So go in, or check out their website, and understand why their olive oil is different! We promise….you won’t be disappointed.
Dreams do come true and fairies really do exist because we were lucky enough to meet one! The Sweet Tooth Fairy herself, Megan Faulkner Brown, sparkled and dazzled as she came into the lodge with her awe inspiring treats and creations. She is a gracious and humble person. If you have never heard of The Sweet Tooth Fairy…I can only say two words…”Cake Pop” and you’d be at one of her many stores in 30 seconds! She has list of accolades that keep growing by the minute. The Sweet Tooth Fairy made this beautiful cake for the event!
The Beddy’s Bed family is an amazing, close knit family that gives back in so many different ways. In the short time we were there, we were able to meet some many amazing, good, and talented people. Not only were these influencers pampered and well nourished (body and mind)….with lots of laughs in-between, they also give back to the community and have the bloggers put on a big service project on the last day of the event.
These women inspire others around them in so many different ways, just like they inspired us to bring this complete and easy dinner menu for you! 🙂 Make a holiday feast around the menu, or pick and choose a couple of recipes a night to elevate a weeknight meal (when our families all have 30 minutes to actually sit and eat one night a week! :)) But…if you can, it will be worth it! That is what we love in cooking…bringing friends and family together to create love and laughter over a good meal!!!
