Hi, Anonymous! Thank you for your visit!

IPC Food Service Program serves 3 meals a week:
Tuesday-Prayer Breakfast (avg.30)
Wednesday-Noon service followed by lunch (avg.70); primarily for those who work downtown
Sunday-Evening service followed by fellowship dinner (avg. 300)
We are historic downtown church with 600+ attending every Sunday and having a meal program has proven to be very effective in keeping the congregation close and connected.

Everyone pays, including the pastors,"suggested donation" for each meal, which covers most of our expenses.

Since we don't worry about profit margins, we can offer good quality, home cooked meals at a low price for families to pay.

I work part-time {go to church kitchen on Wed. & Sunday) with 3 part-time staff. Since our work is concentrated on Wed's & Sundays, it does not justify having a full time workers.

I wish more churches would have food service program like ours. When done well, it serves well to keep the fellowship strong, thus produce a caring and warm church.

More than you asked for! :)

Sorry for my ignorance, but I never heard of a church holding so many luncheons. I live in California and I'm thinking that they don't do that type of luncheon unless it is a fundraiser event, which is not often. Even if they do have a luncheon, it's not set up so elaborate as your church. Do church member eat for free at these luncheons or they have to pay? Sorry to ask, but it seems so interesting to me to see that. I can see why you left catering to cook at the church. It's a full-time job doing this on a regular basis.

Not to mention, I love all your posts and recipes. I learn a lot from this site and love the recipes posted.

I was just looking for something to cook when my family visits this Christmas and I just found the perfect dish-your crabmeat quiche! Wow, it looks delicious. I'm happy to see also that you make your own pie crusts. Wonderful! Have a lovely holiday, Kay.

Wow, this sounds wonderful! I love crab and crave it this time of year. You might have just created our Christmas meal. My in-laws are visiting from France and I wanted to prepare either lobster or crab - this would be perfect. Thanks so much for the great idea, Kay!

We must be on the same wavelength because I just finished baking quiche recently. Although I must admit, it's not as enticing because yours has crab meat! The flavors must have been delicious!
I've been thinking about you lately, because you warned me to be careful about with the cast iron ... well, I had a small but painful injury with my heavy cast iron pan. Lesson learned!

Hi, Annie!
I think if you finely dice the shrimp, it would work. But I would par-cook the shrimp instead of adding fully cooked shrimp since the custard needs time to set and you don't want rubbery shrimp. :) Let me know how it turns out!

We served a seafood quiche at my sister's wedding shower. I always wanted to get the recipe from the woman who made them. Yours sounds divine! Thanks for sharing your wonderful gifts. I wish I lived near you so I could be a test-taster. Blessings to you!

It DOES look delicious. Unfortunately, I can't make it (the boy has a very, very severe allergy to crustaceans, so I am too afraid to be near it, let alone allow some into my kitchen).

This looks right up my alley! Looks delish, Kay!
