Last month I was invited to a Whole Foods holiday feast. It was a night of delicious food, great company, and an education on the 2016 Whole Foods Holiday Catering Menu.
This was my third year attending the blogger event and I love seeing how the holiday catering menu changes and grows each year. Josh and I use Whole Foods catering for our Hanukkah party and for our Christmas Day feast. One day, when we host Thanksgiving, we’ll likely cater that too. I just love that Whole Foods offers an easy option for healthy, delicious food when you’re entertaining. Less mess, less hassle, and a lot more fun!
We dined at a beautifully set table.
And enjoyed some seriously yummy drinks.
This was a Rosemary’s Pear drink by the wonderful bloggers behind The Gastronom.
Gruyere And Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms <— A perfect vegetarian appetizer.
Pumpkin Almond Wontons <— These would make a great dessert!
Petite Crab Cakes <— Perfect for fish lovers!
Wild Mushroom & Chestnut Soup <— I could eat this as a meal!
A beautiful, Midwest-raised turkey. It was perfectly done.
And all the fixin’s! Green beans with toasted garlic and leeks, traditional herb stuffing, roasted root vegetables, and cranberry relish.
My plate of happiness.
Followed by sweet treats from the Whole Foods bakery. I’m obsessed with the mini tartlets.
If you’re looking for catering this holiday season, I cannot recommend Whole Foods enough. They have food for every occasion, and offer you the option to order in-store or online. With all the to-dos and events I have going on this time of year, it’s nice to just focus on enjoying the season and leave the worry, stress, and hassle of cooking to Whole Foods. They’ve got me covered. 😉
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of Whole Foods? Do you tend to cater your events? What is your favorite holiday dish?
Thanks to Whole Foods for sponsoring this post!
Everything looks delicious and the presentation is beautiful. Looks like a great evening was enjoyed by everyone.
This looks so scrumptious, but Whole Foods is so expensive – and not just for the organic produce and such. The same bag of Bob’s flour costs 10-30% more at WF than at my local health food store or mainstream grocery sadly.
Check out the Whole Foods 365 brand. It’s their store brand and organic is usually quite a bit cheaper than a regular grocery store because they buy in such volumes. I love it!
I do buy the 365 frozen veggies, but that’s the only thing I’ve found to be less pricey. The mix I buy is delicious (corn, edamame, carrots and peas) and there is indeed no better value for it 🙂
The food looks amazing. I’m ready for turkey again. Yum
This looks like so much fun and so delicious!
WOW those mushrooms! All that yummy food looks so amazing! I’m coming over 😉
Beautiful and I bet, delicious! Definitely wanna try those wontons, among other recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Everything looks so yummy and pretty! You know how to host a fabulous party!
This all looks completely delicious – I stop by Whole Foods Cafe for lunch all the time, and if I ever have catering needs, they’ve just been added to my short list.
I loved your table cloth and the food looked fantastic. I say ANYTHING to simplify!!
What a lovely looking event to attend! The food looks delicious- glad you had a good time 🙂

Looks really yummy, pumpkin wontons sound delicious!
Oh my gosh, that all looks SO good! I had a Rosemary Pear cocktail at an event I went to a few months ago and it was so good!
I’ve sampled their holiday food in the store and it’s always good. It’d be fun (and easy) to do a whole feast with it.
Omg! I’m pinning this. Hungry vegetarian over here! Was that a pear lemonade? That mushroom soup! Thank you!
Those desserts look divine! Looks like a fun tasting event 🙂
Looks like a really good meal. I particularly like the soup! 🙂
Haven’t tried their catering yet! I think I like to cook too much?
Wow – such a beautiful table with so many wonderful choices – I’ll take some of those stuffed peppers please! (Don’t invite me over – I may eat all of them)! 🙂 Really – looks like a splendid meal!
Yum! Those crab cakes looks delicious. I love the idea of having the meal catered.
Love the presentation and the food definitely opened up my appetite!
WOW to that meal!! I often don’t think of grocery store meals looking like that….but Whole Foods isn’t like other stores. That looks like such a delicious meal and I wish I was eating all of it right now 🙂

Something About That
This looks delicious! I love Whole Foods and have no doubt that their catered meals are a crowd pleaser. I’m going to have to keep this in mind next time we host a big dinner 🙂
