Your mission, should you choose to accept it
Here's the thing folks....

I'm going to make a career change. It's not going to happen overnight, but I want to start coming up with a game plan now.

I want to get into the catering business.

Right now, I have little to no resources to do this, so I'm hoping to ease my way in by starting small: donating things to the local high school sports boosters for their concession stand, and for Local Little League programs.

I figure there are things I can make pretty inexpensively that would be tasty.

In exchange for the donation, I would like the concessions folks to indicate that it was made by me... or by my company.

Which leads me to the task at hand.

I need a name for it.

I would like it to have a homey sound, but not too hick. I don't expect to do 5-star elegance stuff, but I would like it to be refined enough to go beyond catering the backyard barbeque.

Can you help?

3. I don't bake
but I'm pretty good w/ meals.... home-cooked, but even a little fancy. I can make a shepherd's pie and a lasagna, but I can also knock your socks off w/ a lovely roasted chicken or a prime rib.

And I'm VERY good at homemade soups and homemade baked beans.

4. your gonna need to branch out if your not gonna cater to backyard BBQ's
you need to find a niche that sets you apart, something you do exceptionally well at.

5. How about MissMillie's Catering?
Or MissMillie's Creations? Or a play off your real name? But would either be too hick?
