Meal delivery returns next week!
As many of you know, we have been on medical leave since mid-October, as Tim recovers from emergency brain surgery due to bleeding on his brain. We are grateful for the support we have received during this challenging time. Your encouraging words, meals, and financial support have meant the world.
Tim came home from the hospital in November and for the next month, we were at therapy appointments in Traverse City nearly every day of the week. Throughout his recovery, his therapists have helped build back the skills necessary to navigate the kitchen. We've spent many hours working on cooking exercises. It turns out being in his favorite place has helped Tim's healing process immensely. Over the past couple of weeks, we've been meal prepping and delivering to a few neighbors to get back into the swing of things, and we are ready to offer meals to our whole community. We are grateful to be able to cook for you all again!
Our first meal delivery of 2022 will be on Wednesday, February 2. We will send the menu out via email on Friday, January 28. Not on our mailing list yet? Be sure to sign up today!
While Tim is back to making delicious meals, we will be easing back slowly into our meal delivery service, offering a limited menu and some changes to our delivery route. We anticipate gradually adding options to the menu, and we plan to provide additional pickup options soon. You can read more about the changes below!
Limited Menu
As we return to the kitchen, we will start things off with a limited menu. We want to offer the best quality and service while prioritizing Tim's continued recovery. For the month of February, each menu will include one entree, one soup, and one salad. Our friend and associate Jess Ledezma will also prepare an additional entree each week as a guest chef. We are excited about this collaboration and having her alongside us in the kitchen! She worked with us last summer helping with meal preparation, so you have already enjoyed her cooking. Jess is a talented chef specializing in gluten-free options, and she will provide a delicious entree each week.
Delivery Route Changes
Part of Tim's current healing involves his peripheral eyesight, which unfortunately has impacted his ability to drive a car. Because of this, we are altering our delivery route to allow us to deliver meals in a timely fashion.
For the first few weeks of meal delivery, our route will include all of Empire and a limited drop-off in Glen Arbor. Drop-offs in Glen Arbor will consist of the M-22 corridor between Empire and downtown Glen Arbor, as well as M-109. We will not deliver outside of this region during February, but we plan to offer additional pickup locations in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
If you are interested in receiving a meal but we do not deliver to you currently, please send us an email and let us know that you are interested in a pickup location. With enough interest, we'll begin offering these in March.
As always, thank you!
We have said it countless times, but thank you for all of your love and support over the past months. It has been exhausting to navigate the recovery process, but having a community encouraging us has made all the difference. Throughout the last few months, our desire to return to the kitchen and our weekly meal deliveries has clarified more than ever that we are doing what we are meant to do.
We look forward to once again providing you with healthy, locally-sourced meals to supplement your life. Whether our meals offer assistance in a busy schedule or simply add some flavor to your week, we are so excited to return our food to its spot on your table.
Have any questions for us? Feel free to send us an email!
