Since 1929, S&S Catering has been serving up delicious, homemade meals to the Dallas community. Our family catering business is committed to Christian, family-focused values. Not only do we provide event catering, and gourmet, take-away frozen casseroles and meals, but we also prepare meals for the children who attend preschool at Highland Park Methodist church -- our home base.

Our goal is to make it easier for you to spend time with the people you love by eliminating the hassle and stress that comes along with planning meals. Whether you are planning a meal for a big event, or simply dinner for the family during a busy week, we are focused on making your job as simple as possible.

We offer a variety of food services, from complete, coursed menus for events and holiday meals, to breakfast items, sandwich platters and boxed lunches for corporate meetings. Our popular Take Away Chef menu is full of homemade casseroles and meals we can prepare fresh and have ready for you to pick up for the family on your way home from work.  Because our focus is on making our customers’ lives easier, we can even deliver dinner to your front door!

Everything we do at S&S Catering and Take Away Chef is focused on you, our customer. We will work closely with you to plan the menu details of any event, and will even provide fully staffed catering services at your event, if needed.  We strive to be easily accessible. Want to pick up a healthy, homemade dinner for the family on your way home from work?  Give us a call (214-351-6888) before you leave to place your order. Then call us again when you arrive, and we’ll bring it right out to your car.

Preseason is over and football season is officially on! This Sunday the Cowboys travel to New York to play the New York Jets. Kickoff is at 7:20pm (CST), and the game airs live on NBC. If you -- like us -- plan to celebrate the first Cowboys game of the season with a party, here are a few things you’ll want to consider.

Show your spirit. Nothing says game day like a room full of Cowboys gear. If you don’t have your Romo jersey, better get to one of the numerous stores selling Cowboy apparel before the game starts! Granted, it’s not the Superbowl, but you can still decorate for game day with blue, silver and white plates, cups and plastic utensils. Check out your neighborhood dollar store or Big Lots to save cash on game day décor. 

Make a game of it. Whether you’re a Fantasy Football player or not, offering up a friendly little wager on the game’s outcome will keep your football buddies entertained during commercials. Take bets on the final score, total yardage for the Cowboys, etc. and offer up a sweet treat as a prize to the winner.

Nothing says football season like food. You can’t have a good football party without good food. Save yourself a trip to the store for the mundane chips and salsa or veggies and dip snacks like the rest of Dallas. Check out our Take Away Chef menu for filling (and delicious) casseroles, chicken dishes, homemade lasagna, veggies and desserts. We promise our homemade meals won’t disappoint your big eaters. Call ahead and we’ll have your meals prepared for you and bring them right out to your car when you come pick them up! Best of all, our Take Away Chef meals are easy, casual and affordable. 

Join our mailing list on Facebook or our website and get a complimentary Buffalo Wings recipe ... just in time for game day!

Ahh … the start of another new school year. If you have children, back to school also means back to crazy schedules -- balancing school, homework, after school activities and family time. Back to school means early mornings, car pools, sports, drama and music practices and presentations, and one thing that most parents and school administrators dread -- fundraising.

With budget cuts and rising expenses, there isn’t a school in Dallas, public of private, that doesn’t have a fundraising need. Whether you are a school administrator, member of the Parent Teacher Association or simply an interested and involved parent, here are the do’s and don’ts of school fundraising.

Do -- Involve the kids. Use fundraising as an opportunity to teach children the value of a hard earned dollar. Fundraising is an opportunity for teaching valuable lessons about money and the work involved to earn. Encourage teamwork and build morale by challenging kids to work together to reach a common goal. Reward them with a celebration when that goal is met.

Don’t -- cold call. While it may seem like an easy way to raise funds for your school, picking up the phone and calling specific individuals begging for cash can be a turn off, especially when it comes to future fundraising needs. Don’t guilt trip grandpa into opening up his checkbook. Next time your child’s school has a financial need, previous donors who have been singled out likely won’t give again because they feel they’ve already done their part.

Do — Focus on doing good for your school or organization. Use the opportunity to teach kids of the good that can come for a community or organization when people work together toward a common goal. What will the money raised be used for? Is it to build a new school library or buy new football uniforms? Stay focused on the end goal, not just the dollar amount.

Don’t -- Make it all about the money. While raising funds for your school is the purpose, don’t make money the primary focus. If you stay focused on the number, you may lose site of the good that will come from the fundraising.

Do — Offer a fundraising initiative that not only raises money, but solves a problem or offers a solution for the folks giving money. This is certainly where Take Away Chef can be of service. We have been partnering with schools, churches and other nonprofits and clubs for years through our casserole-go-service. Much like Girl Scouts sell cookies, deliver them and take a percentage of profits, Take Away Chef offers a similar service. Except, we provide nutritious meals moms and dads can feel good feeding their children, rather than junkie (though yummy!) sweets. 

If you are interested in offering a fundraiser at your organization, give us a call at (214) 351-6888 or email us. We are happy to discuss our program with you and give you tips on how to have the most successful fundraiser for your organization. 

Let’s face it. There are times when we all need a fast food option. Running late after work? Have to get the kids to soccer practice, theater rehearsal and piano lessons all in one night? There are times when we just don’t have time for a home cooked meal.

But don’t get us wrong. We are not recommending you drive through McDonald’s on your way home from work.  We are also not advocates of frozen T.V. dinners. We do, however, recommend our own ‘in-n-out’ fast food option -- Take Away Chef.

When you find yourself in a time crunch, give us a call. Swing by after work and we’ll bring one of our freshly prepared frozen entrees made from our original recipes straight to your car. We have a number of ready-to-bake, family-sized casseroles, and if you don’t have time to pick up your meal, we can deliver it to your home

Our Take Away Chef option is intended to provide quick, easy, yet healthy meals for large groups, parties, or simply dinner with the family. This option is popular with our customers for a number of reasons, but here are a few of the best uses for our Take Away Chef frozen entrees.

Night with the babysitter -- Even if your babysitter is a great cook and knows her way around the kitchen, time spent preparing a meal can mean time she spends away from your kids.  Take Away Chef casseroles are a far healthier option than ordering pizza. Stock up your freezer with your kids’ favorites Take Away Chef meals and know your kids won’t go hungry when the babysitter comes.

Last-minute company -- We have all had friends drop in unexpectedly, or social gatherings last longer than expected. Take Away Chef meals are a simple solution to what could be a sticky problem when you find yourself unexpectedly caught with dinner guests.

Dinner parties or holiday meals - Planning a holiday meal or dinner party can be easy with Take Away Chef. Our frozen meals are sold in servings of 2, 4 or 6. From chicken spaghetti, to apricot chicken or pork tenderloin, we have a number of options that are sure to please your guests. Reduce your stress and leave the main dish and even dessert up to us.

The best part about our own in-n-out meals - you won’t be caught in line for an hour waiting on your food! Just call ahead to 214-351-6888, place your order and give us a ring when you arrive. We’ll bring your meal right out to your car!

S&S Catering is located at United Methodist Church at Mockingbird and Hillcrest.
