She Makes Delicious

For 57 days, I laid in a hospital bed for 23 out of 24 hours every day because if I didn't, my life and my unborn son’s life would be over. In addition to the stress of knowing whether we’d make it, I was constantly concerned about both of our nutrition.  The level of food that they were feeding us in the ante-partum ward was deplorable. To make it worse, my last meal would be at 5pm for the day with the next one not coming until 8am.  For a pregnant woman, that’s a serious no-no.

There were times when I was able to have someone bring me food. Those were good days.  But there were also many times I wouldn't eat all because the hospital would get my meal wrong and just didn't care if I ate it or not. I was miserable and honestly fighting depression daily.

Despite this experience, I was fortunate to give birth to a healthy baby boy, Hendrix.

Before I was hospitalized, I was the Personal Chef for many NFL athletes. I've cooked for various celebrities, dignitaries and the world’s greatest athletes.  While lying in that hospital bed, I also birthed the idea for a new business that would allow me to share chef-quality food to working women and moms like me who didn’t want to live off of cereal and fruit snacks. I wanted to make us, the moms of the world, the celebrities and bring this experience straight to your doorstep.

Although I knew it was a great idea, my bread and butter was with cooking for professional athletes.  My plan was to return to that after having Hendrix and gradually incorporate cooking for moms.  Then, COVID made the decision for me by shutting down professional sports.  With the seasons indefinitely on hold, I saw the side of my business that paid the bills also be on hold.

I’m not a quitter, so that didn’t stop me.  Was I disappointed?  Shocked?  Nervous?  Yes.  But I knew that what I had to offer couldn’t be stopped.  It was time for me to pivot my business so that the moms of the world who were on my mind the entire time I was in the hospital could receive the same quality food as the professional athletes, but at a fraction of the cost.

She Makes Delicious is a mom’s saving grace! As a luxury pre-made meal prep subscription service that serves everything from Colossal Shrimp & Bay Scallops with Spinach Risotto to Mushroom Tempeh Spaghetti, this meal subscription box is for moms who miss the luxury of that self-care time with their friends at their favorite restaurants.  You can now swoon over opulent dishes in between Zoom meetings and toddler nap times, without leaving home or risking their health.

We launched and now we need your help to feed 100,000 Moms across America who want something for themselves. Who are missing out on self-care and alone time. Who are no longer interested in eating Cheerios or fruit snacks with a toddler. While only being in this new pivot for less than two months, the membership into our subscription program continues to grow.

We are looking to raise $20,000.00. With full funding, we will be able to have the most effective insulation to keep our packages cold and fresh during the duration of it’s trip and to be able to place a bulk order. We would like to get more commercial refrigeration to be able to accommodate the 100,000 women we are trying to feed in a more effective manner. We also would like to get custom branding for our boxes, so that our deliveries would be most anticipated by the receiver.

We would like to say Thank You from the bottom of our dutch ovens for being apart of our journey. We hope that you are along with us for the long haul!
