What If I Have An Appointment?
Please let us know as soon as possible if you won’t be home on your specified delivery date. We would appreciate at least 2 days’ notice for any absences; including medical appointments and vacations. Unless prior arrangements have been made, if the driver finds that you are not home during your delivery time, your meal will be returned to us, and your account will still be billed.

What is the Menu Like?
The menu is prepared monthly and can be found on our website. Meals are different for each day of the month and you may choose either a weekly schedule (for example, every Tuesday and Thursday) or you may make selections according to the menu. Unfortunately, at this time, we can only make special considerations for allergies and cannot accommodate celiac, vegan or minced food diets.
Who Makes the Meals?

We take pride in offering a variety of healthy, nutritious food options to our clientele, and strive to make customer service our number one priority. All meals come with a main course (protein, starch and vegetable) as well as salad, dessert, and our homemade daily soups.
