Well here goes a new blog

I always have a hard time knowing how to start a blog, so I guess the best place to start is at the beginning.  I hope to take everyone on a journey with me as I explore my passion for food.

It is my plan to share recipes I am mulling around in my head, or maybe some tired and true crowd pleasers. I'll also be taking you on a journey with me as I grow my catering business. Celtic Bella. "The Beautiful Irish Woman"

You might be asking yourself what is Celtic Bella. I'm glad you asked!  Celtic Bella born out of my strong desire to own my own restaurant.  I wanted to refurbish a historic home and feature in the middle of the house an authentic Irish style pub.  I would turn bedrooms into small quaint dining areas in the theme of the sleek and classy Mediterranean on one side and the warm rich down to to earth feel of the Celts.  The idea was that each customer could choose the dining experience, and it never had to be the same.  One day you could go to Ireland, and the next to Greece!  I wanted to offer good food, at a reasonable price with the best customer service in the world.

Well then the market crashed, and along with it my dreams.  Who was going to loan me a million dollars in this economy for the number one failed business world round?  You're right... no one.

So one day I was talking to my husband and I asked him if he was happy with his job, and he replied "I love my job"  I replied "I love where I work and who I work for, but it doesn't bring me the joy that cooking does"  Then I looked at him and I said, I may not be able to ever bring people to Celtic Bella, so why don't I bring her to them?" So I told him I wanted to start a catering business and I wanted him to support it. He completely agreed with me. So... Celtic Bella Catering was born. (Thank you to my dear husband)

It is my desire to bring an entire experience to my clients. Most any caterer can bring food. I want to bring a feeling!
