Christina's Criollo

Okay folks! Looks like it's going to be another cloudy and rainy day Tuesday. That's even more reason to stop in at The Lancaster Central Market and grab a cup or bowl of one one my childhood favorite soups, sopas de fideos con salchichon. -smoked sausage noodle soup. This soup is traditional, so delicious and super savory; definitely a nostalgic feeling when I eat this...tastes like grandmas cooking! Stop by for our signature meals, empanadas, soup and dessert. Hot lunch se...rvice 10:30am-2pm! Come and get you some! Christina #ComidaCriollo #soupoftheday #smallbusinessowner #cheflife #lancastercity #womanownedbusiness #minorityownedbusiness

THIS is why I do what I do! You know, there are days in this profession where I think to myself wtf am I doing, I’m tired, I’m too old for this s*** ....Then, my services are needed. You fulfill the clients needs in hopes of making their special day even better and that you leave a good lasting impression. So when the hard work is appreciated and followed up by a sweet gesture like this email.... that’s when the passion I have inside me resonates once again! ... Just sharing my thoughts Christina #transparency #cheflife #caterer #humility #smallbusinessowner

Had a super last minute request to cater an intimate outdoor wedding for today. The client asked for VEGAN appetizers and to accommodate COVID precautions for the guests. So everything was served individually. Menu: -Hummus with crudités skewer -Guacamole with corn tortillas... -Fall salad; kale, red cabbage, roasted butternut squash, candied walnuts, shaved fennel with fig balsamic -Baked falafel slider with tahini -Creamy polenta topped with roasted red pepper salsa. #vegan #appetizers #delicious #cheflife #catering #smallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #minorityownedbusiness

To my The Lancaster Central Market customers... I will be closed Tuesday 9/29.

Fortunately I will have help with cooking and will be able to reopen for the weekend!!!... As always, thank you for your continued patronage and support!
