I was born in Texas, grew up in Fulton, Missouri and have lived in Virginia for forty-eight years. I am a wife, mother, grandmother of two joyful children and a grateful friend to many amazing people.

As a small girl I loved being a part of a family that enjoyed cooking and entertaining. With two grandfathers who had prolific gardens and two grandmothers who canned, froze and made jellies and jams out of the produce, we were blessed with the most delicious, fresh food all year long.

I was a theater major at Mary Baldwin College. Although I have never stepped on stage since graduating, I have used the skills of my degree daily. I love the presentation side of catering. Setting a table or arranging a platter that is a feast for the eyes is very similar to creating a stage setting.

After I retired from my own catering business, a client asked me to talk with Annhorner about the creation of her new business. Once I met her, I was convinced that she was the real deal. We had the same concept of preparing fresh, tasty food and showcasing it in all its natural beauty with a new Southern style. 

Whenever I am asked who I would recommend as a caterer, I say without hesitation, “Annhorner Truitt’s Plentiful Foods!”  I came to Plentiful in a consultant capacity, and I remain as support.  

I applaud Annhorner’s vision.  There is a need for delicious, beautifully prepared food in our world.  It feeds our souls as well as our bodies.

My favorite Plentiful dish is our Salmon Nicoise Platter…delicious and beautiful.

I’ve never seen a flower that I didn’t love.
