With warm days and plenty of sun, summer is lots of fun until you have to cook in the house. After a tranquil day cooling down at the pool or park, who wants to heat up again? Prepping food in the heat is just uncomfortable. Instead of cutting & chopping in the heat, why not make some lemonade to cool you off while you wait for Aurora Catering to bring you a great meal that you can just pop in the oven for 20 minutes!  With seasonal weekly menus, we’ll bring the best foods right to your dining table. Our mid-July meal features our Tomato Watermelon Salad, sweet & cool, loaded with perfectly sun-ripened tomatoes.  They embody the natural flavors of what a tomato should be: fleshy and sweet. Our watermelons are packed with sweetness, and are perfect to keep you cool and hydrated. A perfect salad packed with flavor is coming your way to cool you down. Then your choice of our Rolled Pork Loin with Spinach Herb pesto OR our delicious juicy Roast Chicken!  Those coupled with Roasted Red Potatoes and a Fresh Seasonal Veggie Side will surely do the trick. As always you have your choice of our Triple Chocolate Brownie or our Dessert of the Week.  This week, we're using the freshest fruits to make a fruit tart just for you! With a flaky crust and excellent filling, we hope you saved space for dessert! If any of these dishes make your stomach rumble, be sure to check out Aurora’s Weekly Menu, posted on Facebook @AuroraCatering and our website: www.auroracateringbayarea.com . We’re always here to keep you cool and deliver you the freshest food in town.
