Fresh Service

Chef Shelley offers a same-day, full-course meal to be served fresh at your dinner table. She will also prepare salads, soups or “light” dishes to be consumed same day or to refrigerate for a couple days.

Slow Cooker Wednesday

Slow cookers (or Crock Pots) were popular years ago and they are now making a big comeback. Every Wednesday, Chef Shelley offers a slow cooker “special of the week” so you can have a delicious meal waiting for you when you come home. You may even have leftovers which you can freeze.

Chef Shelley will grocery shop, prepare and load the ingredients, and set your slow cooker. When you arrive home to the mouth-watering aroma of a home-cooked meal, all you have to do is grab a dish and fork. Just add a side dish and/or salad and you have a fabulous meal. And best of all, Chef Shelley uses a disposable bag in the slow cooker so there's no clean-up for you.

Service fee $40.00 + groceries (varies according to the special). 4 servings (nominal extra prep charge for additional servings).

Sample Entrées

• Wild Mushroom Beef Stew
• Swiss Cheese & Mushroom Chicken Casserole
• Halibut in Lemon Wine Sauce
• Signature Chili (or Chunky Vegetable Chili)

Specialty Desserts

Chef Shelley specializes in signature cheesecakes, including Raspberry Truffle, Coconut Chocolate Rum, and Heath Bar Mocha to name a few. They freeze well and actually taste even better after defrosting. She will also prepare other scrumptious desserts upon request.
