I can't begin to tell you how happy we are with your meal-delivery service.
First, the food is great. Not just good or edible - but really great.
Second, you're helping our family get healthier. We're very busy, with a lot of balls in the air, and our tendency is to just grab whatever is quick and easy. Usually, that meant fast/junk food. Now, we grab a healthy meal from the fridge, heat it up, and we're so happy about it.
Third, it's very reasonably priced.
We're kicking ourselves that we didn't start this years ago! Thanks again!

The Cooking Mama is absolutely PHENOMENAL. I was impressed from our initial conversation, to the day of the event. She is professional, punctual, accommodating, and the dinner was marvelous! My folks are still talking about the food and the presentation of the dinner! I will definitely be using her services again!!
