When I go through hard times, crisis, or grief, the absolute last thing I feel like doing is shopping, cooking, and cleaning. When you're "in it", let me take that whole mess off your plate. I do everything for you, and bring real comfort food to your doorstep, across Asheville and our surrounding communities.

WHY IN-HOUSE EXISTS
After spending over 25 years in high-end hospitality, catering, and fine dining, I realized something important. Food is so much more than something you do when you're hungry. It is comfort, relief, your body's nourishment & fuel, it's healing, & it's something we do to bring people together.
For In-House, it's my way of showing up for people when they need support the most... because LIFE happens. Trauma happens. Loss happens. There are surgeries & illnesses, new babies, demanding careers, multiple children — and maybe all you want is one less decision to make, one less responsibility, and one less thing on your To-Do list.
Allow us to help you.

🪄PRO TIP
I don't like using microwaves because it doesn't heat evenly; it changes the textures of foods; and most importantly, when you cook the food too long, you lose your nutrients.
The best way to re-heat your In-House meals is by using the stove top. I use a non-stick pot with a lid. You spray it, add your food, and cover. In 4 to 5 minutes, your food is HOT and cheese melts PERFECTLY!
HOW IN-HOUSE WORKS
STEP 1- CONSULTATION & CUSTOM MENUS
If you're new to In-House, I recommend visiting my Facebook page first. You'll find answers to common questions, examples of who this service is designed for, and ideas that may help you determine whether In-House could benefit you or someone you care about.
When you're ready, schedule a free, no-pressure consultation. We'll discuss your household's needs, food preferences, schedule, and any challenges you'd like help with so I can create a plan tailored specifically to you and your family.
STEP 2- CREATING THE MENUS
Once we have a direction, I take over the heavy lifting. I source the ingredients, do the shopping, and cook everything from scratch.
Don't be stressed out if you don't know what meals to order, I've got you. You'll receive access to my curated collection of In-House favorites to help inspire your selections, and I'm always happy to guide you through the process. Want family recipes instead? I'd love to make those, too. Whether you're craving nourishing meals, comfort-food classics, or a little of both, there is absolutely no judgment here. You order what sounds good to you.
Note: Sourcing specialized ingredients from specialty shops, organic farmer's market produce, and allergy-specific menu accommodations are completely manageable, but they do carry an additional cost, which depends entirely on what you order.
STEP 3- STORAGE & DELIVERY
We’ll decide on packaging during our initial chat—whether you want to hand off your own clean containers, or for a small fee, I can buy a set of reusable or disposable containers for you.
On your delivery day, your meals arrive fresh, securely packaged, and ready to enjoy— with zero mess left behind.
