New Adventures

Hey PLV peeps.

In case you haven’t heard, PLV truck is officially retiring from the food truck scene.  We are shifting gears to our other passions:  pets, people and helping charities.  Thepetsyshop is the new focus!  It’s a pop up shop for pets and their people, currently at Clinton Crossing Premium outlets on weekends for Holiday.  Will also be at events around the state next year.  

PLV has really gone to the dogs! :Thanks for all your support and kindness.  I continue to take care of my elderly parents which has been tough.  But, I’m thankful to have them with me still!  

PEACE OUT FRIENDS!

Friends

So grateful for wonderful friends, who have supported PLV in so many ways.  Today, I would like to publicly thank my friend Mike. This winter, PLV had a mechanical issue and my friend Mike helped me out in a big way.  He saved a few um, pipes and etc. from freezing in the truck with the below zero temps that came upon us so quickly. After removing these key parts of the truck for the rest of the winter, Mike was kind enough to re-install these components this week. Thanks Mike.  Your gourmet food truck cooked dinner will be coming your way soon.  And maybe even some Whoopie Pies too.

Thinking of warm days and the summer season!

Newport Bound

PeaceLoveV heads to Newport this week to work with Sea Salt Provisioning of Newport for a bit.  We will be back on the CT shoreline just in time for Labor Day weekend and will be at the Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets! See you soon. 

Here’s a pic of one of my favorite things in Newport, Cliffwalk!  What a gorgeous view.

Summer on the Shore

Check out our Summer and Fall events on the “Schedule” link.  We have a busy event schedule starting in August through October. Come see us at one of these great events or find us parked along the shore. 

If you are interested in booking the truck for a holiday event, contact [email protected]

Ollie is in search of his buddy, El Guapo so they can hit the beach again (see pic!).  Missing since November of 2016.  I think that ChefBigDog may have kidnapped him and taken him south to Memphis!  

See you at the Shore!

June is here (almost)!

June is almost here and we can’t wait for it to arrive. What’s to love about June?  So many things happening and Summer officially arrives.  Kids get out of school, graduations galore and Father’s Day!  We love Dads at PeaceLoveV. My Dad is why I love cooking.  He was the chef in my family growing up, taking culinary classes in New Haven and Hamden.  He loved to cook and since he’s European (straight over from Hungary), Food is Love.  His family tradition with his 5 sisters (yep-he was the only boy!), was about having wonderful family meals together and it was truly farm to table as Dad grew up on a farm. Everything was farm fresh and wow could his sisters bake.  That must be where I inherited my love of baking.  

I’ll be writing a blog about Dad for this Father’s Day.  The past 2 years I have helped he and my Mom as their primary caregiver and have gotten much closer to both. His story of coming to the U.S. is amazing and I can’t wait to share it with you.
