We did it for Grey Cup AND the Super Bowl, and we may just do it again! Chicken wings, bison meatballs, sliders, potato skins, and other finger foods packed these party platters. Variety was outstanding and the quality had friends and fam arm wrestling for the last bites.

Meal Prep is back! You can find out more information under the Meals-To-Go tab or on the blog.
You can order meals for an entire work week, all ready to heat-n-eat.
We had a working professional couple who were happy to get through a busy week without wondering what’s for supper.
A woman ordered some for her shift-working husband to eat as she was away.
One mom bought a week of breakfasts and dinners as her son had moved into the city to work and had no time that week to get groceries while working his 10-hour days and unpacking.
Those are just a few of the people we helped out with our made-ahead meals.

At Christmas, we provided take-home turkey dinners, with bird, stuffing, potatoes, veg and a delectible dessert. It made for a much more relaxed Christmas Day for many. There was an option for a 2-person meal (so a couple could still enjoy a home-cooked dinner without all the work), and 6-12 person meals that could take care of that extra large crowd.
Follow our social media pages for information when these become available again.
