DEAR FRIENDS,

It’s safe to assume that we are all feeling a bit overwhelmed we try and navigate our new normal. The catering side of my business has been greatly impacted by the cancellation of corporate and social events, so I’m re-inventing myself for the time being.

For those who live in Tucson….

MEAL DELIVERIES
For those social distancing, I’m now offering drop off/delivery services. Due to warnings from CDC advising people to social distance, advising older adults to “stay home as much as possible” during an outbreak, I will be now offering drop-off delivery options.

If you are looking for or know someone who is looking for home cooked meals to be dropped off or looking for someone to prepare and deliver meals for the seniors in your life, please contact me to discuss your needs or share this post with them.

PRIVATE CHEF SERVICES
If you still would like that restaurant experience without having to go to a restaurant, you can still book me to come to your home.

Some updates made to my website.
